In-Class Field Trips
Copyright© 2009
While the emphasis of L.E.A.N. is on the parents and caregivers, at Kids Club Lean, we also bring the L.E.A.N. message to the classroom in fun, interactive in-class field trips. Field trips are geared toward different age groups and included age appropriate materials and activities.
Kids Club Lean Junior: Preschool - Third Grade
A Certified L.E.A.N. Coach will start with Story Time reading the Dr. Sears’ book, Eat Healthy, Feel Great which introduces kids to Traffic Light Eating and living a healthy lifestyle. Then a number of activity stations will be available to the children to explore to bring home the Traffic Light Eating message - including sorting foods into TLE categories, cut and paste, coloring, and making a healthy snack. Each set of activity stations will be customized for the children's grade level. Kids Club Lean Junior runs about 2 hours.
Cost:$3.50 per child.
Kids Club Lean Senior: Fourth Grade - 8th Grade
Kids will be introduced to Traffic Light Eating, nutrition label reading and an overview of the evils of fast food by reviewing some Science Fair experiments. (See Ian’s Experiments on the Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. site - http://www.drsearslean.com/ians_experiment.html) and a healthy snack.
The kids will then be sent on a series of group ‘quests’ to report back to the group. These quests will include researching lists of ingredients to figure out what food is indicated, what some of the ‘evil’ ingredients in food actually are (for example, TBHQ, a common additive to fast food is a type of butane - lighter fluid) and what these ingredients can do to your body; finding a healthier alternative to an identified food. A facilitated discussion will go over the findings of the quests and we will have a peer discussion of what kids are eating and having kids help other kids with better choices. Kids Club Lean Senior runs between 2 - 4 hours depending on the class requirements. Kids Club Lean Senior can be done in two 2-hour sessions.
Cost:$3.50 - $7.00 per child
Kids Club Lean Supersize: Fourth Grade - 12th Grade
We will review some Science Fair experiments on the evils of fast food (See Ian’s Experiments on the Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. site - http://www.drsearslean.com/ians_experiment.html), learn to make healthy home made chicken nuggets and oven fries - and compare them to fast food. A viewing of the educational version of Supersize Me will be shown and the kids will do a number of the Supersize Me activities. Kids Club Lean Supersize runs about 4 hours and can be done in two 2-hour sessions.
Cost:$7.00 per child
