For Students
Calling all middle schoolers! It's time to show off your healthy habits and inspire your peers by entering the "Wellness Warriors" PSA video contest.
This is your opportunity to create short videos demonstrating how you stay healthy, while sharing tips and advice for living a balanced and active lifestyle. Whether it's through nutrition, physical activity, mental health practices, or creative hobbies, we want to see how YOU become a Wellness Warrior in your everyday life!
In your video, you could showcase a variety of healthy habits. Maybe you start your day with a nutritious breakfast, packed with fruits, whole grains, and protein to fuel your body and mind. You could share your favorite smoothie recipe or how you prepare a healthy lunch for school. Highlight the importance of staying hydrated by carrying a water bottle and choosing water over sugary drinks. Your peers will appreciate practical tips they can easily incorporate into their routines.
Physical activity is another fantastic topic to cover. Do you have a favorite sport or physical activity that keeps you fit and energized? Whether it's playing soccer, dancing, riding your bike, or even taking your dog for a walk, show how staying active is both fun and beneficial. Consider demonstrating a simple exercise routine that others can follow along at home. Encouraging daily movement, no matter how small, can make a big difference in overall health and wellness.
Mental health is just as important as physical health, so don't forget to include ways you take care of your mind and emotions. Perhaps you practice mindfulness or meditation, keep a journal to express your thoughts, or engage in creative activities like drawing or playing music. Share techniques that help you manage stress and maintain a positive outlook. Teaching your peers about the importance of taking breaks, getting enough sleep, and seeking support when needed can help build a supportive and healthy school community.
We encourage creativity and originality in your videos. Use engaging visuals, music, and clear narration to make your message memorable. You can work solo or collaborate with friends or family members. The key is to be authentic and enthusiastic about your healthy habits. By participating in the Wellness Warriors PSA video contest, you'll not only have fun and learn more about health and wellness, but you'll also have the chance to inspire and motivate your peers to lead healthier lives. We can't wait to see your videos and learn how you become a Wellness Warrior every day!
