Building Healthy Superheroes (Kindergartners Only) Is Back!

For the fourth year, this program is completely virtual

La excursión Building Healthy Superheroes es un programa divertido e interactivo diseñado para estudiantes de jardín de infantes. The program teaches healthy and safe lifestyle choices for children.

La excursión tiene dos áreas: Wellness World y Safety City. A medida que los estudiantes recorren Wellness World, aprenderán la importancia de comer frutas y verduras, limitar el tiempo ante las pantallas, mantenerse activos, evitar las bebidas azucaradas, cuidar sus dientes y reconocer sus emociones.

In Safety City, they will learn to always buckle up and use a booster seat; to use a bicycle helmet for every ride, every time; to never put their feet in the street until they have looked left-right-left and listened; and to crawl low in smoke in the event of a fire.

After the class completes an area, the teacher will receive an electronic badge, and the students will activate their healthy superpowers for the area. Once the class has received both badges and the students’ superpowers have been activated, they will be ready for the final stop, the Healthy Superhero graduation. During graduation, students will take the official Healthy Superhero pledge and transform into Healthy Superheroes! ¡El maestro ahora puede premiar a sus alumnos con sus propias capas de Healthy Superhero!

The virtual field trip is facilitated by the teacher at their own pace in a format designed for flexibility.

It contains four modules:

• Bienvenida a la Norton Children’s Healthy Superhero Training Academy
• Wellness World
• Safety City
• Graduación de Healthy Superhero y conclusión del programa

The virtual field trip may be presented in a four-day or one-day format:

• Four days: Students watch one 20- to 40-minute video per day, followed by interactive activities to reinforce the lessons learned. The activities can be completed with the teacher or as homework. Our recommendation is to complete the program in four consecutive days to build on and emphasize the lessons.
• One day: The virtual field trip can be conducted as a traditional daylong program.
