are met they attain higher achievement levels. To enable
the development of life-long healthy habits, each of Colorado’s public schools shall implement the Wellness
Guidelines. The American Heart Association also supports healthy kids, families, and communities helping to
reduce heart disease. The wellness policy focuses on
committee designation, nutrition, nutrition and health education, physical activity and physical education, and professional development.
How can we meet the wellness guidelines together?
The American Heart Association can help with specific wellness
guidelines from the implementation checklist (DOE Colorado
Wellness Toolkit) by providing monthly tips, tricks, and tools for
schools to utilize all year long.

Tool and Tip for Wellness All Year Long
AUGUST—Back to School
Packing Healthy Lunches and Snacks
Include Seasonal Fruits & Veggies
Raisins and Unsalted Nuts make great high energy snacks
Whole Grain Cereals make an easy on the go snack
Pack water or low calorie drinks to stay hydrated
Age appropriate portion sizes
Nutritious afterschool snacks —check your food labels on granola bars, individually packaged crackers, yogurts, and frozen treats
USDA Recommended Snacks have the following requirements:
Based on One Serving: Less than 200 calories, less than 8 grams total fat, less the 2
grams saturated fat, ZERO Trans fat, Less than 200mg Sodium, Less than 8 grams sugar
Fun Family Challenge:
Bring kids to the grocery
store and let them pick out
healthy choices by reading
the food label . Help them
to understand calories, nutrients, fats, and serving
sizes.
(Utilize JRFH “Making Sense of
Food Labels” lesson)
Fun ways for the whole family to get fit and stay fit:
Summer hours and dry weather give us the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors
Play catch in the yard or a nearby park
Start a walking or running family challenge—set goals and rewards
Ride bicycles —discuss bike safety and rules too
Encourage kids to join a team —our public parks offer baseball, tee-ball, soccer, football and more
Ask neighbors, cousins, and friends to join in a game of kick ball, basketball, or
flag football
SEPTEMBER—Long Labor Day Weekend
Fun and Active Long Weekend Activities Trails & Hikes Suggestions
Hiking —Colorado has hundreds of miles of
trails to explore
A day at the park —walking or running,
football, frisbee, volley ball or soccer
Healthy BBQ —Choose Healthy grilled vegetables, lean proteins, and sugar free drinks
Cherry Creek Park
Garden of the Gods
Roxborough State Park
Rocky Mountain NP
Red Rocks
Great Sand Dunes NP
Healthy Food Choices lesson from JRFH
“Balance It Out!” Eating from different food categories.
American Heart Association BBQ Tips:
Try grilled fish more often, which is high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Buy chicken breasts – and remember to remove the skin before eating
Try Chicken or turkey burgers and add diced onions or peppers for another
layer of flavor
What cut of meat to buy? Choose “loin” or “round” cuts of red meat and pork
Go green… Serve green leafy salads or fruit salads (or a combination of both,
like baby spinach with strawberries or mixed greens with orange slices) instead
of mayonnaise-based salads. Add some crunch – and healthier fats – with
some toasted walnuts or almonds instead of croutons.
Try Some Grilled fruits instead of cake or pie– yummy and high in vitamins.
Get Students More Active at Recess:
Set up Recess Stations (Basketball, Jump Rope, Football, Hula Hoop, etc.)
Start a walking and running club
OCTOBER—Halloween and Fundraising
Tricking the Treats
Healthy options for candy: Pumpkin seeds, granola, 100 calorie microwave popcorn
apples, tangerines, dried fruits, trail mix
Better yet instead of food how about: Yo-yo’s, bubbles, crayons, pens, pencils, stickers,
rubber balls, jacks, or marbles
Halloween Parties: Using vegetables as a snack and spooky décor. Cauliflower as brains,
grapes as eyeballs
Getting in the spirit and staying active.
Take a walking ghost tour with your family
Do family walks in different neighborhoods to see how
festive people are being
Don’t forget to wear something reflective
Start a Halloween Parade at school
Designate a walking path where students can “parade”
their costumes
Fun for the whole family. Invite the entire family to
come watch and walk along
Get Ready for Basketball Season With Fun Basketball Skills
Playing basketball is good exercise and lots of fun. Check out these great shooting and skills games you
can teach this fall.
Shooting Games
Quick Shot
Place five basketballs at the top of each of two basketball racks. Place each rack on either side of the
foul line. Each student has 30 seconds to shoot the basketballs on the rack..
Skills Games
Around the Body
Rotate the ball around the body. Start with the head, then go around the waist and legs, then reverse
the procedure.
Making Fundraising Fun-raising
Is your school doing a fundraiser? Instead of selling cookies or sweets. How about selling: greeting
cards, pens, plants, flowers, soaps, kitchenware ,fruits or vegetables to name a few.
Have a school yard sale (students, teachers, parents can bring in donations)
Alliance for a Healthier Generation, www.healthiergeneration.org
NOVEMBER—Holiday Meals and Activities
Create New Traditions with Healthy Choices
Substitute low fat fruit crisps for baked pies and tarts
Stay away from the dark meat —Try using only the turkey breast which can be made in the
oven, slow cookers, or on the BBQ
Stay away from the fryer —try “un-fried alternatives” baked in the oven
Make appetizers bite size to control portions
Add lots of colors —choose colorful sides like sweet potatoes, squash, cranberries, apples ,
mushrooms, red peppers, peas, beets, asparagus, or green beans
Incorporate whole grains —use wild rice and whole grain breads in stuffing and flavor with
apples, walnuts, and cranberries OR mushrooms, onions, and herbs
Fun Family Activities for Thanksgiving
Turn off the TV! Play a game of touch or flag football
Start a holiday challenge —like a turkey trot, make your course and have the
entire family participate before Thanksgiving dinner
Set up a scavenger hunt the kids and adults can participate in —utilize the
entire neighborhood to get the family walking and running to the next clue
What is a healthy portion size?
The key to helping kids stay healthier is eating sensible
portion sizes. Larger portions mean more calories, and
those extra calories are tough for kids to burn off. (Great
Hand out—‖Reading Food Labels 101‖ from Alliance for a Healthier
Generation‖ )
When a label refers to “one serving,” it really means:
1 slice of bread (so a sandwich has two servings of
bread)
½ cup cooked rice or pasta
1 pancake (about the size of a CD)
1 small piece of fruit (about the size of your fist)
½ cup fruit juice (most small bottles of juice have
more than this so make sure to read the label)
1 cup of milk or yogurt
1 tsp of margarine (about the size of half your thumb)
½ cup of ice cream (about the size of a baseball)
2 oz. cheese (about the size of a small matchbox)
2-3 oz. meat, chicken or fish (about the size of a deck
of cards)
Tips to control portions:
Use Smaller plates, drink water before and with meals,
don’t eat out of the carton or
container, slow down and take
smaller bites, at restaurants
ask for a box and wrap up half

Basketball Skills
Playing basketball is good exercise and lots of fun. Check out these great shooting and skills
games you can teach during your Hoops For Heart event.
Shooting Games
Horse
Set up games with four to five kids in a group.
Quick Shot
Place five basketballs at the top of each of two basketball racks. Place each rack on either side
of the foul line. Each student has 30 seconds to shoot the basketballs on the rack.
Speed Shoot
Have four or five students make a line behind each side of the foul line, one basketball for
each line. The first in line shoots, rebounds and passes the ball to the next in his/her line. Record who makes the most number of baskets in two minutes.
Skills Games
Around the Body
Rotate the ball around the body. Start with the head, then go around the waist and legs, then
reverse the procedure.
Around Each Ankle
Rotate the ball around each ankle. Rotate the ball in a figure eight around the ankles in continuous motion.
Dribble Around the Legs
Dribble the ball around and through the legs in a figure-eight motion.
Quick Hands
Start in regular basketball stance with the legs shoulder-width apart. Hold the ball slightly in
front of the body with both hands. Toss the ball slightly upward and between the legs to behind the body. Quickly bring the hands around behind the knees and catch the ball before it
hits the floor. Repeat in the opposite direction and catch the ball in front of the knees. Repeat
as quickly as possible while maintaining control.
Four Hands
Position the ball the same as Quick Hands, but hold the ball between the knees. One hand is in
front of the ball; the other is in back behind the knees on the ball. Slightly toss the ball in the
air and reverse the hands to the opposite knee. (Hand in front moves to the back, hand in back
moves to the front.)
Crossover Dribble
The participant pushes the ball so that it rebounds across in front of the body to the opposite
hand and repeats the motion every five dribbles. Change direction from a right to left diagonal
each time you change hands.
One Knee, Both Knees, and Sitting-Down Dribble
The participant begins with a regular dribble, moves to a low-control dribble, then to one
knee, both knees, and then sits down. Next the participant tries to stand up again without losing control.
Eagle Ball Handling Drill
Participants start holding the ball waist-high with both hands. The drill is timed. On the signal
"go," the participant passes the ball twice around the waist and twice around each leg, then
does 15 skips, 10 drops in each direction and five body figure eights. When finished, the participant lifts the ball above the head. Stop timing when the ball reaches the overhead position.
Each participant needs at least one partner to count each skill. Skills can be changed to best
meet participants' skill levels.
Team Passes
Arrange the team in a circle. Have members practice a variety of passes, e.g., chest pass, onehand pass, bounce pass and behind-the-back pass. Each participant tries to be innovative
about the kind of pass they use.
STAYING FIT IN YOUR CLASSROOM
Staying physically active at your desk:
Physical activities for all students
Sitting in your chair, lift one leg off the seat, extend it out straight, hold for 2 seconds; then
lower your foot (stop short of the floor) and hold for several seconds. Switch; do each leg
15 times.
To work your chest and shoulders, place both hands on your chair and slowly lift your bottom off the chair. Lower yourself back down but stop short of the seat, hold for a few seconds. Do 15 times.
Sitting tall in your chair, stretch both arms over your head and reach for the sky. After 10
seconds, extend the right hand higher, then the left.
Work your arms by lifting a text book slowly over your head. Do 15 times.
Take a Break:
Activities that can be done in the classroom
Try one Minute of Jumping Jacks.
Do a football-like drill—Run in place for 60 seconds. Get those knees up! (Beginners, march
in place.)
Simulate jumping rope for a minute: Hop on alternate feet, or on both feet at once. An
easier version is to simulate the arm motion of turning a rope, while alternately tapping
the toes of each leg in front.
While seated, pump both arms over your head for 30 seconds, then rapidly tap your feet
on the floor, football-drill style, for 30 seconds. Repeat 3-5 times.
Shadow box for a minute or two, sit or stand at your desk, but be careful not to touch your
neighbor.
Do walk-lunges around the perimeter of class
