Healthy habits



Good morning!

Today’s activity is a questionnaire about healthy habits. Children can go around the school asking some questions about this topic (they can ask teachers and friends, but always in English), and writing down the answers in a table like this:  Table
They have to ask to five different people at least.
In class we will share our results and talk about how people could enjoy good health. They will have 10 compulsory questions to ask, but they are free to add as many as they want (they have to add 3 more questions at least). The compulsory questions would be:

1-      Name and age
2-     How often do you exercise?
3-     How many glasses of water a day do you drink? 
4-     Do you have breakfast every day?
5-     What’s your favorite food?
6-     How often do you have sugary food?
7-     How many times a day do you eat fruit?
8-     How often do you eat vegetables?
9-     What do you eat more often?
10-  How many times a week do you have lunch or dinner in a restaurant?
11-    
12-   
13-   

They are practicing Speaking with each other, Listening to understand the answers and Writing to think of the questions and write down the answers. This is just an example, they can do questionnaires about a lot of different topics, and it’s very easy to prepare, using Word or another program to provide them with a table they can print to write down the answers. But this is just a draft. When they are finished asking questions, they have to write the results in the computer.

I hope you liked it! See you!

  1. Dear Raquel,

    When I have seen this activity I thought it is really good because students can practice speaking skills asking their questions and we can realize what are the healty habits of our students.

    I like your idea of letting students add more questions, in this way we can discover more about our students’ healthy habits.

    Additionally, as you said this activity allows learners to practice speaking, listening and writing skills.

    Congratulations!
    Magda.

  2. Hi Raquel,

    I think that this type of exercise helps teachers and pupils to know each others. It could be appropiate to do this at the begining of the school year.

    It is good also to practise speaking, writing and oral comprehension skills.

    Good job!

  3. Great activity, congratulations!!! I am sure kids will be really motivated with this activity because they love to say things about them, so this questionnaire is really a good idea. They will talk a lot and will be interested in pronouncing well and writing well the answers.
