Healthy Habits Flashcards | Printable Healthy Habits Cards | 37 Card Pages

Healthy habits flashcards for everyday routines

These healthy habits flashcards are a packet of 37 card pages, each with a grid of habit cards that pair a small picture with a short phrase. Most pages hold nine cards in three rows, and one or two pages hold fewer.

The set is made for teachers and parents who talk with young children about daily routines, health and self-care. The same habits return on many pages in new borders and colors, so children meet each habit again and again as they go through the pages.

If you want printable healthy habits flashcards for a classroom wall or a home routine chart, the pages work for both. They are healthy habits picture cards in the plainest sense: one habit, one drawing, one short phrase. A teacher can print the pages that match a health unit, and a parent can print a few pages for the fridge or a bedroom door. These healthy habits cards for kids use big pictures and short phrases, so even a child who is just starting to read can follow along.

What’s on the pages

Every card page has a heading that reads Healthy Habits! in bold, colorful letters. The cards have thin or thick borders in orange, green, blue, purple and red, and stars and dots decorate the edges.

• Eating and drinking: Eat Vegetables, Eat Fruit, Eat Healthy and Drink Water.
• Body care: Brush Your Teeth, Wash Your Hands and Get Enough Sleep.
• Moving and playing: Exercise, Play Outside and Spend Time Outside.
• Mind and mood: Read Books, Stay Positive, Be Kind, Limit Screen Time and Spend Time with Family.

The pictures are simple: a water bottle, a toothbrush with toothpaste, soapy hands, a pair of running shoes, a jump rope, a soccer ball, an open book and a smiley face. Each card has its words printed beside or below the picture.

What’s in the download

The healthy habits flashcards pdf has 40 pages in total.

• Name page: 1 page with lines for name, class and date
• Healthy habit cards: 37 pages
• Two closing pages with a thank you note and copyright information

Everything comes as PDF, so you can print one page for a small group or the whole set. The cards already carry their words, so there is nothing to write on them, and the four sleep, water, teeth and hands habits are easy to find because they come back on nearly every page.

How to use healthy habits flashcards

Print the pages you want and cut the cards apart along their borders. Hold up a card, read the habit aloud and ask the child when they do it in their day.

A few ways to use the cards:

• Pick one card each morning and make it the habit of the day for the class.
• Sort the cards into things we do in the morning, at school and at night.
• Ask a child to act out a card while the others guess the habit.
• Post a page on the wall near the sink or the reading corner as a reminder.
• Use a page as a conversation starter in a health or SEL lesson.

Healthy habits flashcards work best when you take two or three cards at a time. Add new cards as children get comfortable with the first ones, and bring back old ones for review. A short talk about one card at the end of the day is often enough to make the habit stick.
