FAQs

What does the Healthy and Unhealthy Habits worksheet cover?

This Grade 3 worksheet uses nine multiple-choice questions and one multiple-select question to assess students’ ability to identify healthy and unhealthy habits. Students classify food, physical activity, sleep, and screen-time behaviors, recognize influences from family, friends, media, and culture, and identify the stated daily fruit and vegetable amount of 3–5 servings.

How can I use this worksheet to teach healthy and unhealthy habits?

Introduce the worksheet by defining a healthy habit as a behavior that benefits physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Before students work independently, discuss the examples involving balanced meals, fresh whole foods, physical activity, sleep, and sugary drinks. Use the final multiple-select question to prompt a class conversation about how advertisements, screen time, social comparison, and others’ choices can affect health decisions.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Students may choose a single media influence on the multiple-select item instead of selecting all four correct effects. They may also confuse healthy examples—such as drinking water, eating fruits and vegetables, or getting 7–8 hours of sleep—with unhealthy examples such as sugary drinks, skipped meals, or staying up to play video games. Check that students distinguish the stated 3–5 daily servings from the other serving ranges.

You can assign it as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground.
