A BREAK IN THE DAY (NAP TIME)
Getting enough sleep and rest is one of the most important ways to stay healthy, along with good nutrition and regular exercise.
Nap is a short sleep taken in the day. Among adults, naps are usually taken as response to drowsiness during working hours. But children’s nap should be deliberately planned because of its health benefits on the kids.
Children who are 5 years and below need quality nap time for early physical and mental development.
This lesson is meant to help the kids know the importance of having their Nap every day and motivate them to cultivate the habit of having quality nap.
Let them know that quality nap helps their brain to grow well and help them to do well in their school activities.
Napping refreshes the mind, improves overall alertness, boosts mood and increase productivity.
The teacher can always schedule class room nap time for the kids. The kids should be taught to develop nap time habit so that even during weekends and holidays, they will continue the practice. Usually, the body gets used to a particular routine. So, if they always have Nap time in school, when they are at homes, and it gets to the time they usually have nap in school, the urge to have a nap will naturally come. Napping helps the kids to recharge.
