Description

6 LIFESKILLS: Learn how food, rest, cleanliness and fresh air affect our health


Resources

 Copy of questionnaire for each Guide (attached)
 Paper and pencil per Guide

Instructions

A new plan of action

Changing our lifestyle or planning a new health programme for ourselves is not always easy. It starts with good intentions and lots of
enthusiasm but this is often difficult to sustain over a period of time as the novelty wears off. This activity should help the Guides to look
at their current lifestyle and plan for change. They should remember to keep the plans realistic and achievable - gradually build up to the
desired changes.

 Give each Guide a copy of the questionnaire and ask them to complete it. Allow 10 minutes.
 Stress that this is not a test. Becoming aware that they are not leading a healthy lifestyle may be an achievement in itself for some Guides.
 When each Guide has finished, find them a partner and ask them to discuss their questionnaires in pairs.
 In pairs, discuss the short, medium and long term objectives in the health plan.
 Each Guide promises to keep in touch with their partner over the coming weeks and months to see how each of them is getting on.

The Leader should plan a programme in a month’s time to allow the Guides review their health programme and make changes if
necessary. If the Leader feels that the new health programme is working, she could repeat the activity in another month’s time.

Discussion
 Were you surprised at the number of unhealthy foods you eat?
 Are the activities you have decided on manageable?
 Can you fit them into your leisure time?
 What motivating factors will make you stick to your plan?
 What are the main blocks to achieving your plan?

Another suggested activity is the Ladder Challenge – as outlined on the attached pages, following the questionnaire.
