Proper and balanced nutrition of schoolchildren is a problem that excites the minds of all adults, parents, teachers and representatives of the Ministry of Education. Some schools have already launched programs to educate children about healthy nutrition. Moreover, experts note their high efficiency. Lessons are quite a variety of activities that children like.

Work with students on the basics of proper nutrition is designed for a year and is a complex of various activities, the purpose of which is to instill in students a culture of nutrition.

Of course, first of all, classroom hours were included in the school curriculum. Responsible for conducting - class leaders. The subjects of such events can be varied - from short excursions to different cuisines of the world, special attention is paid to national food, to determining the taste preferences of children and lectures on the theme "We are what we eat." Such a program is intended for students from grades 1 to 8.

Several times during the month should be held the so-called health lessons. These are talks about famous athletes who follow a healthy diet, about medical specialists who are developing healthy nutrition programs, etc. Also, such lessons include physical competition and stress. Class teachers are also responsible for the events. But high school students participate in them - from 9 to 11.

In addition, nutrition lessons suggest the development of creative abilities in children. For example, the program includes various contests on the topic of healthy eating. One of them is a drawing contest. It is intended for younger students. Pupils of the secondary department - from grades 5 to 8 - take part in the compilation of thematic wall newspapers and posters devoted to tasty and healthy food. High school students can try their hand at preparing various video presentations on the topic "School nutrition should be healthy."
