How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?

Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.

This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.

Can I show videos in live classes?

Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.

Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.

The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.

How do bookmarks work?

Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.

You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.

Lesson Slide

1G16 – Eating and Mealtimes

Main Teaching Points

  • Explain: It’s important that we eat the right amount of food each day. If we eat too much or too little we could get sick! When we eat the right amount of food it’s called moderation.
  • Explain: We try to stay healthy by eating moderately because Jehovah wants us to be happy and healthy! (Eccl. 3:13)
  • Explain: Many doctors say that we shouldn’t eat more than 2,000 calories a day. But they also say that everyone doesn’t need to eat the same amount of food. An easy way to make sure we’re eating the right amount of food is to eat at regular meal times every day.
