The students of Classes III to V were also engaged in Self-Care Activities. These highlighted how a nutritious diet supports mental health, memory, and focus. A session on Healthy and Mindful Eating reinforced habits such as eating slowly, recognizing hunger cues, starting the day with a healthy breakfast, and avoiding screens during meals.
Classes VI to VIII were encouraged to bring nutritious tiffins throughout the week. To further raise awareness about the impact of food choices, they played themed games like Snakes and Ladders, which illustrated the contrasting effects of junk food and healthy eating on the body.
