Did you know that it is recommended to eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruit a day?

Do you know the difference between a vegetable or a fruit? Let's try:

Is a tomato a vegetable or a fruit?

How many minutes or hours per day should children be energetically active to keep healthy?

Did you know that more than half of all 5 to 17-year-olds are engaging in more screen time than is recommended for their age group - which is 2 hours or less?

What counts as screen time?

Check all the boxes below that you think count as screen time (you can also select all):

Did you know that half of your body is made of water? That is why water is important and you have to make sure to get enough of it.

Can you guess what our bodies need water for? (You can also select all.) Our body needs water to:

There are many fun ways to get your body moving and leave screens aside.

Pick one of the below suggested activities - or think of a new one - to play at recess today. After you have played, mark the challenge as completed.

You can modify each activity YOUR way. For example, complete a wheelchair race, or tie one end of the rope to a bench so you can swing the other end of the rope with your other arm, or move to the music and freeze when the music stops. There are many possibilities!

Which other activities can you come up with?

Let's play the "I am going on a picnic game" and pack a fruit or vegetable that begins with each letter in the alphabet.

You or a friend/classmate begin by saying "I am going on a picnic and I am bringing an apple". The next person repeats the line and adds a fruit/vegetable from the next letter in the alphabet. Continue playing from A-Z.

Not challenging enough? Try this version:

You or a friend/classmate begin by saying "I am going on a picnic and I am bringing an apple". Whatever letter the fruit/vegetable ends in, is the letter the next fruit/vegetable needs to start with. In this case, apple ends with an "e"- meaning the next player has to come up with a fruit/vegetable that starts with the letter "e".

Did you know that kids who are active for a minimum of one hour daily are more likely to become healthy, active adults?

In order to keep you active, here is a fun game for you:

How many consecutive skips of a jump rope can you do in 40 seconds?

Done? Now try to beat your best number or challenge your parent/ friend / classmate.

Of course we invite you to modify this challenge YOUR way!

Power's out Challenge

Imagine the power is out all weekend and there are no screens. What activities could you do if the light goes out?

Make a list of at least three activities and share those with your family or classmates!

"Spot the less sugary beverages" challenge

1. Take a piece of paper and draw a glass of water in the middle. Now think about all the beverages you could fill the glass with (Milk, Juice, Soda, Cola...).
2. Next, circle the beverages from your list that you think are low in sugar.
3. Research one or two of your circled beverages with your teacher or parent. Are they really as healthy as you thought?

Tip: Always try choosing beverages with the lowest amount of sugar, and that is the most healthy in terms of nutrition. Be cautious with artificially sweetened beverages, since they contain no nutrients (and therefore no nutritional benefit), in addition to stimulating a taste for sweet foods and having a high level of acidity.

To help drink less sugar from drinks:

• Buy smaller sizes of drinks.
• Pour smaller servings, setting aside the rest of a container for the next time.
• Make healthy drink choices of our own!

Welcome to the healthy and yummy breakfast cooking challenge!

Make your own delicious "Easy Bake Cheese Strata." Watch 2020 Food Network Junior Chef Showdown winner, Audrey, prepare this quick, healthy and delicious breakfast recipe.

What you need for this recipe are two slices of whole grain bread, broccoli, cheese, ham and parsley (optional).

If Audrey can do it - you can do it too! And maybe you make enough to share with your parents or classmates?

Tip: If you look for an even easier solution to make your breakfast more healthy: top off your breakfast cereal with sliced bananas, fresh or frozen berries or a handful of nuts for an added boost of energy and vitamins.

Play Snakey!

What you need: one or more friends, a parent or classmates:

Two kids wiggle a skipping rope along the floor like a slithering snake. Others try to jump over the snake without stepping on it. Take turns wiggling the rope.

Don't have a rope? Take a scarf instead!

For this challenge you need to know your favourite TV show and your favourite song. Ready?

Turn off the TV at your favourite show time today and get up to create a dance choreography of your favourite song. Not a dancer? Use cans, containers or pots to create drums and beat to the rhythm of your favourite song!

To add more fun: teach your family and friends!

The exotic water experiment

Water is good for your body and can also be fun for your taste buds. You can add herbs, fruit or yes, even vegetables to it. Try adding fresh, frozen or canned strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pears, cucumber or even mint leaves to your glass of water. To release the most flavour, try crushing or chopping the fruit/vegetables.

Let's play a game: "Can you guess the flavour of the water?"

Add different kinds of fruit that you may have in your fridge (they can be frozen too) to different water glasses. Next, find a friend or a parent/guardian, blindfold them and have them try to guess the flavour of each glass. Try as well and see if you have the same favourite!
