Healthy Lifestyles 

1. Lead-in discussion: 
What should a healthy lifestyle include?

How healthy would you rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10? Write down a number. Tell your partner in what ways you are (or aren't!) healthy and active but don't tell them your number. They will then give you a number based what you have just said. Do the numbers match up?
