About This Worksheet

Young children do not need to know about blood pressure. What they can learn is that eating fruit, drinking water, moving their bodies and sleeping well help keep the heart strong.

One of the free sample pages asks children to tick safe habits, such as drinking water and eating fruit, and cross unsafe ones, such as fizzy drinks and too many sweets. The rest of the pack continues with heart-healthy habit activities.
