INFORMATION FOR STATION PRESENTERSThe information presented in each station will help students learn the key concepts and outcomes for that station. You are an integral part of the learning experience because you will present all of the information and lead the activities.The paper script that you have been given to review will NOT be used on the day of Body Venture. You will use a large flipbook. The flipbook pages will have pictures on the front for students to look at and the script will be on the back of the page.Students will tour the human body exhibit with Power Panther graphics as a guide. Throughout the exhibit, they will learn how to apply Power Panther’s slogan:

EAT SMART. PLAY HARD.To make the Body Venture experience more fun for everyone, here are a few tips:

z Familiarize yourself with the script prior to Body Venture. This will ensure you are more relaxed and confident with the information you are presenting.

z Have fun yourself! The more animated and engaging you are, the more the students will learn and remember.

z Dress the part! A few suggestions are included in your script packet. z Maintain some eye contact with the students and encourage everyone to participate. z Don’t allow the children to engage you in conversation or you will not be able to complete

the entire script. Suggested response: “That sounds like a great idea/comment/question, so please bring that up later in your classroom.”

z Instruct students to sit down when they first enter the station. Explain that they are not to touch or lean against the walls of the exhibit.

z Ask students to WALK to the next station. z Ensure students handle the exhibit props carefully. Some exhibit props are not to be

handled by students at any time. No kicking or punching of exhibit walls. z All presenters will be responsible for maintaining an atmosphere of learning rather than

running or playing. z The exhibit is enclosed. It could be stuffy or hot inside your assigned station. Dress

comfortably so that you can move freely with the students as you do activities together. z Bring a bottle of water to keep your voice working! No gum, food or drink other than

clear, unflavored, water allowed inside the exhibit.

TEACHER MEMO 1To: All TeachersFrom: RE: Body VentureDate:

Body Venture, a traveling exhibit from the Kansas State Department of Education, Child Nutrition & Wellness, will visit our school on

Body Venture is a unique educational program designed to involve kindergarten through fifth grade students in learning the skills and choices for a healthy lifestyle.Body Venture consists of:a 45-foot by 50-foot walk-through exhibit representing the human body,classroom activities for use prior to and following Body Venture,a take-home activity book for students to read with their families anda list of additional nutrition education resources.You and your students will be going through the Body Venture exhibit in groups of 8–10. It will take approximately one hour for each group of students to go through Body Venture. Groups will start through every 5 minutes. For more information on the Body Venture experience, please see the back of this letter or log onto www.bodyventure.org.Body Venture has provided our school with several resources to help students get the most out of the Body Venture experience. Please see me if you would like to utilize any of these resources in your classroom:Classroom activities to introduce students to Body Venture’s healthy messages.Follow-up classroom activities to extend and reinforce the learning experience.A comprehensive list of nutrition and health websites.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.



TEACHER MEMO 1, CONT .The Body Venture ExperienceStudents tour the human body with Power Panther graphics as a guide. Throughout the exhibit, they will learn how to apply Power Panther’s slogan:

At each of Body Venture’s eleven stations, a volunteer presenter engages the students in a five-minute activity focused on healthy choices. The tour begins when students, in groups of eight to ten, enter the school lunchroom and become a food such as a carrot, low-fat milk or a piece of chicken. In the second station, they walk through a giant ear into the brain. Inside the huge brain dome, students experience “brain waves” and learn about brain function. The “foods” step into the exhibit’s larger-than-life mouth, are “swallowed” through the esophagus tunnel and move into the stomach dome. From the stomach, the students travel through the small intestine where they become nutrients, then are “absorbed” into the blood. Then they follow the path of the nutrients to the heart, lung, bone, muscle and skin stations. Students leave the body through a cut in the skin and proceed through Power Panther’s Pathway to Life. The Pathway to Life recaps key health concepts from each of the ten previous stations.

EAT SMART. PLAY HARD.

VOLUNTEER THANK YOU LETTERTo: From: RE: Body VentureToday’s DateThank you for being part of the Body Venture experience! The students had fun and learned about healthy behaviors and choices. We appreciate all you did to make it happen!Here are some ways you can be a healthy role model to other children in your life and continue the Eat Smart Play Hard message at home:

focus on each other at the table Talk about fun and happy things at mealtime. Turn off the television. Take phone calls later. Try to make eatingmeals a stress-free time.

listen to your child If your child says he or she is hungry, offer a small, healthy snack—even if it is not a scheduled time to eat. Offer choices. Ask “Which would you like for dinner: broccoli or cauliflower?” instead of “Do you want broccoli for dinner?”

limit screen time Allow no more than 2 hours a day of screen time like TV and computer games. Get up and move during commercials to get some physical activity.

encourage physical activity Make physical activity fun for the whole family. Involve your childrenin the planning. Walk, run, and play with your child—instead of sitting onthe sidelines. Set an example by beingphysically active and using safety gear, like bike helmets.

be a good food role model Try new foods yourself. Describe its taste, texture, and smell. Offer one new food at a time. Serve something your child likes along with the new food. Offer new foods at the beginning of a meal, when your child is very hungry. Avoid lecturing or forcing your child to eat.

21 show by example Eat vegetables, fruits, and whole grains with meals or as snacks. Let your child see that you like to munch on raw vegetables.

go food shopping together Grocery shopping can teach your child about food and nutrition. Discuss where vegetables, fruits,

grains, dairy, and protein foods come from. Let your children make healthy choices.

get creative in the kitchen Cut food into fun and easy shapes with cookie cutters. Name a food your child helps make. Serve “Janie’s Salad” or “Jackie’s Sweet Potatoes” for dinner. Encourage your child to invent new snacks. Make your own trail mixesfrom dry whole-grain, low-sugar cereal and dried fruit.

offer the same foods for everyone Stop being a “short-order cook” by making different dishes to pleasechildren. It’s easier to plan family meals when everyone eats the same foods.

reward with attention, not food Show your love with hugs and kisses. Comfort with hugs and talks. Choose not to offer sweets as rewards. It lets your child think sweets or dessert foods are better than other foods. When meals are not eaten, kids do not need “extras”—such as candy or cookies—as replacement foods.

be a healthy role model for children10 tips for setting good examples

You are the most important influence on your child. You can do many things to help your children develop healthy eating habits for life. Offering a variety of foods helps children get the nutrients they need from every food group. They will also be more likely to try new foods and to like more foods. When children develop a taste for many types of foods, it’s easier to plan family meals. Cook together, eat together, talk together, and make mealtime a family time!
