Heads In, Hearts In: Healthy Living Activities
4-H's mission is to empower youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. One goal to achieve that mission is to connect in-school learning with out-of-school-time opportunities that enhance learning. That's precisely the focus of Heads In, Hearts In: A Delivery Approach to Family Enrichment 4-H Programming. These resources encourage youth and families to use their minds (putting their "heads in") as a tool to expand their knowledge around variety of topic areas. By creating a shared educational experience, youth and their families will work, grow and learn together, putting their "hearts in" to the process.
Heads In, Hearts In: A Delivery Approach to Family Enrichment Programming – Healthy Living Activities are designed to help Michigan State University Extension staff members to involve partners in facilitating a family enrichment program around the topic of healthy living education. Family enrichment programming is an approach to education that involves youth and their families learning together as they focus on a topic. This page includes the full healthy living activity book containing all 15 healthy living activities, the staff guide for tips for facilitating a family enrichment event and all 15 healthy living activities available for download individually.
Heads In, Hearts In Family Enrichment programming is also available in a series of literacy, early childhood and science activities!
