Your face will surely show it!

Play - Recite the following before mealtime and engage children in solving it:

Here’s a riddle for you, as you take a seat

At the table all set with healthy foods to eat

There’s protein food to make our muscles strong
And energy from fruit to last all day long

Vitamins in veggies in colorful tones
And calcium in milk for teeth and bones

But something’s missing to feed your face
Guess it now before we say grace!

Talk  - The solution is a smile. Explain how scientists discovered that happy people are healthy people and that when we’re happy (cheerful), others will see it on our face.  Discuss how we can choose to be cheerful even when we’re having a bad day.

Pray - Dear God, I want to be healthy in every way.  Thank You for giving me good foods to eat and helping me with my moods (Proverbs 17:22).
