You can make your poster just like ours pictured above, or you can download our FREE Heart Healthy Game printable to use for your game time!

For the Game:

You will need some sort of stuffed heart to toss at the poster board. I made a heart bean bag which I like because it’s heavy and stays put when thrown.

1. Make a Heart Bean Bag:

red felt pieces scissors hot glue gun – or tacky glue works well if dried overnight dry beans

  1. I used a half sheet of red felt and cut 2 hearts out, about 4×4 inches.
  2. Hot glue along 3/4 of the heart and stop.
  3. Fill the heart with beans as full as you can get it, without it spilling out.
  4. Hot glue the rest of the heart together. You could also sew this heart together as well, but I love a “no-sew” option!

2. Make a Heart Healthy Poster Board:

white poster board red or black marker printed out sheets of “healthy” exercises – optional red paper and scissors

  1. I divided it up into 9 squares, just with a red marker.
  2. Label each square with some sort of exercise by printing out pictures off the computer of that certain exercise. You could draw the exercise, but I am no artist. I like to have both the word and the picture on the board to help my kids learn the words too.
  3. Make a set of small numbered heart cards with number values on them. Children can choose a card and it will tell them how many of that certain exercise to do.

Now the kids are ready to get their hearts healthy!
