What is Body Walk?

Body Walk is a new and unique health education program designed to educate elementary school students across the state of Mississippi on the importance of being physically active and making good nutrition choices. The Body Walk program provides education and activities that enable youth to learn skills needed in making good nutrition choices and developing a healthy lifestyle.

Body Walk consists of:

• a 40-foot by 40-foot walk-through exhibit representing the human body,
  
• Classroom activities for use prior to and following the students’ walk through the exhibit
  
• A take-home activity book for students to read with their families
  
• A list of additional nutrition education resources
  
• Information to help publicize the event and communicate with the media.
  
• A School Health Kit
  
• A parent information sheet

Students tour the human body exhibit with the OrganWise Guys as their guides.
