Depends on the age of the children. Young kids like coloring sheets that describe good self care like hand washing, brushing teeth, cover mouth when cough, etc. Sometimes there is a free coloring book available from many Public Health Centers and coloring sheets are free on the web. Scores of books are available at the library to get you started. With older kids it gets a bit harder to teach and depends on what areas you want to cover but self care is important at all ages. Amazon has a book available that covers teaching good health and hygiene in one. If you search the web, it is also recommended for homeschoolers as well. here is site with teachers plan.

How about a unit on nutrition, ending with healthy snacks. The kids could take turns sharing their favorite healthy snack by presenting a recipe card. If possible the kids could provide their favorite snack for the rest of the class to try. Here are some healthy snack ideas: http://www.k12schoolsupplies.net/Healthy-Snacks-p/cpb0736869271.htm Then compile all the recipe cards and make a cookbook which they can use at home.
