This 65 page Activities Guide is designed to reinforce and support the instruction and messaging from the Road to Health Group Leader Guide and Participant Guide. Use these activities to show how easy it is to get started on “the road to health.” There are two types of activities included in this guide:
• Activities for making healthy food choices
• Activities for physical activity

Feel free to adapt these activities to the needs of your participant or group. You can even come up with your own new learning games or activities!

Tips for Success
• The Road to Health Toolkit does NOT replace the National DPP lifestyle change program or the
PreventT2 Curriculum. It does not replace individual counseling with a dietitian and cannot substitute the sessions with a lifestyle coach. It is important to involve a registered dietitian or a lifestyle coach in activities about food labels, choosing portion sizes, and other healthy eating activities, if possible.
• Encourage your participants to consult a doctor or other health care professional before starting any physical activity program.
• Be sure to review Are You Ready to Get Active? and Be Active, Be Safe with participants on pages 28-29 in the Appendix before beginning activities that include physical activity in order to avoid injury and to help you develop successful programs that engage the people in your community.
