Theme: Healthy Eating and Active Living Audience: Grades K to 6
Eat healthy meals, and healthy snacks, too. Drink water, not soda or juice. Get away from the screen - no more than two hours a day of TV, video games, or Internet surfing. And be REALLY active for at least 60 minutes a day. It's all part of being your best!
The Best Me is a live theatre program of madcap moments and serious messages, wild dancing and purposeful songs. The Best Me inspires elementary school students and their families to make healthier choices for their lives.
The Best Me is available in two formats:
- The Best Me Assembly.
- The Best Me Program (a weeklong commitment).
Apply online for the format that best fits your school's needs. Availability may vary.
The Best Me Assembly
For grades K to 6
The Best Me Assembly is a 45-minute theatre performance encouraging healthy eating and active living.
To help reinforce the play's messages, educators can download and use The Best Me: Educator Guide. The Educator Guide includes stand-alone, supplemental classroom activities that support California State Content Standards.
The Best Me Program
For grades 3 to 5
The Best Me Program includes the same 45-minute performance as The Best Me Assembly and adds the following components:
- A principal and teacher orientation prior to the assembly.
- One-hour workshops for each class - led by Kaiser Permanente performer/educators in the days after the assembly.
- Family Night - a free healthy meal, a resource table, and The Best Me performance followed by a student performance; Spanish interpretation is available.
- The Best Me: Educator Guide - activities that support program messages and California State Content Standards.
These additional components require your school to make a weeklong commitment to implement The Best Me Program.
If your school would like to expand the program to include community partnerships, we can connect you with local agencies that support healthy eating and active living.
