About Healthy Habits<\/strong><\/p>\nHealthy Habits is a 4-H program designed to teach youth the basics of nutrition, plant science, mindfulness, and physical fitness in an effort to empower them to make healthy choices.\u00a0 The Klickitat County WSU Extension 4-H program received a grant from the Walmart Foundation to offer this health and wellness-focused program to students in Klickitat County.<\/p>\n
To increase the impact of the program, we utilize a teen teaching model. Local teens are recruited and trained to deliver this program with the support and supervision of the 4-H Program Manager. More information about the program can be found below.<\/p>\n
Youth do not need to be 4-H Members to participate. Registration will be confirmed on a first come, first serve basis. A waitlist will be established and worked from in order should students not be available to participate at any point during the program. It is requested that participating students attend all sessions.<\/p>\n
What to Expect:<\/strong><\/p>\nEngaging virtual lessons will include hands-on activities that youth can complete while following along from home.\u00a0 A book that connects to the lesson will be read. Suggested recipes for continued learning will be provided weekly.<\/p>\n
Youth will have the opportunity to study the essentials of life, explore garden science, practice mindfulness habits, make healthy choices, and engage with their peers in play!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\t<\/div>\nMake a Food Chain<\/p>\n
Over a set period of time make a family Food Chain listing all of the foods that family members tried that were new to them. We suggest doing this over a month or even over the entire summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nTry an Alphawalk outside!<\/span><\/p>\nTake a medium-paced stroll around your yard, neighborhood, or community park with your family. Guess before you go how long it will take to walk around at a medium-paced stroll. As you walk spot and call out objects that start with each letter of the alphabet in order. For example, if after starting you walk you see an ant say “ant”, then you see a bird and say “bird”. Your goal is to find objects for as many letters as possible before your walk ends.\u00a0 See if you beat your original guess on how long it would take. Repeat and try to beat your time or repeat at different locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

At Home Fun: Garden Rocks!<\/span><\/h4>\nPainting a rock is a creative way to add some color to your room, house, or outside. If you have a place for a garden where you live, you can use a painted rock to decorate your garden. Painting rocks is fun and a little messy. This is a good activity to do outside or in the house with newspaper or other ways to protect the table or floor where you are painting.<\/span><\/p>\nSupplies:<\/p>\n
\n- A rock (a smooth river rock is best)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Paint<\/span><\/li>\n
- Paintbrush<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Directions:<\/p>\n
\n- Make sure you cover your space and are wearing clothing that you can get paint on or that you have protected your clothing.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Clean and dry the rock.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Decide what you want to paint on your rock. Do you have a favorite fruit or vegetable you\u2019d like to draw on your rock? If you are using your rock in your garden, you might want to<\/span><\/li>\n
- Paint your rock a base color.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Paint away! Be as creative as you want.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Let it dry for a couple of days where you know it<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
