Discussion or Journal Prompts:

  • What’s one helpful habit you have related to one of the BEST model dimensions of health?

  • What’ something new you learned during this activity?

  • What’s something about the BEST model that confuses you?

This activity was the perfect All About Me poster for health class. Combining the BEST Model health framework with a get-to-know you activity was a great way to make the lesson fun AND meaningful.
