Join us for an engaging, hands-on Heart Health Workshop designed to help kids explore how everyday choices impact heart health! Through creative activities, interactive stations, and playful learning, children will discover how movement, nutrition, sleep, mindfulness, and social connection all support a strong and healthy heart.
The workshop kicks off with Story Time, featuring Your One and Only Heart, followed by collaborative art activities like large heart-themed murals that encourage kids to express what makes their hearts happy.
Next, kids rotate through a series of themed lifestyle medicine stations that combine science, creativity, and self-reflection. In Heart Rate Hustle, they’ll feel the impact of physical activity by exercising and measuring their own pulse. At Power Plate, they’ll build colorful, balanced meal plates to learn about heart-healthy foods, while Snooze School helps them design better bedtime routines. Kids will also practice mindfulness in Calm Like a Cloud, test their knowledge in the Heart Smart Trivia Challenge, and work as a team in Healthy or Not?, sorting through lifestyle choices. Plus, they’ll build emotional wellness and social connection with Gratitude Greetings, writing thank-you notes to loved ones, and Goal Getters, where they set personal, heart-healthy goals.
Throughout the workshop, kids are encouraged to think critically, move their bodies, express their feelings, and connect with others—all while having fun. This whole-child approach reinforces the idea that heart health isn’t just about the body—it’s also about the mind, emotions, and community. By the end, each participant walks away with new knowledge, healthy habits to try, and a heart full of inspiration!
