‘Happy Healthy Me’ is a communication through touch activity about some of the important things our special learners need to be happy and healthy in their everyday lives. The activity has six themes: healthy eating, physiotherapy/exercise, laughing, playing, feeling safe and loved and sleeping. Each theme suggests touch/sensory input or a movement to specially chosen music.
Happy, Healthy Me would perfectly complement an ‘All About Me’ and ‘Keeping ‘Healthy’ theme, but it is also a lovely session to share at any time with learners to promote happiness and well-being.
A Happy, Healthy Me PowerPoint/YouTube video with images and music supports this activity; links for both are in the written resource download.
