A little history
International Health Day is not a new holiday. It was first celebrated in 1950, and the date was dedicated to the day of the official creation of WHO, a specialized agency of the United Nations designed to address health issues at the international level.
The World Health Organization began its functioning on April 7, 1948, when the WHO Constitution was adopted. Today, the organization includes 194 countries from different parts of the globe. During regular meetings, the most important issues related to providing all inhabitants of our planet with accessible medical care, combating epidemics, monitoring health conditions and the influence of various factors on it - from the deteriorating environment to economic problems - are resolved.
World Health Day is an important holiday created to draw attention to such necessary issues as:
- promotion of healthy lifestyles;
- solving health problems in remote corners of the planet;
- preventing the spread of dangerous diseases;
- drawing attention to current problems and finding ways to solve them.

Poems and songs for the competition of game exercises for children:
Zoo
| A bear walks on two legs and descends into a ravine. One is a left step, One is a right step, We can do this too! The little elephant saw a pear, and somehow he got it out with his trunk. We can do this too. The rooster climbed onto the fence and from there into the attic. The eccentric flapped his wings, We can do this too! The grasshopper sawed off the grass and threw it on the workbench. | And plan back and forth - We can do that too! Once we all saw how a pike perch swims. And he does the crawl, and he does it on his back - We can do that too! The frog sat on a tree stump and said to everyone: “Quack.” Jump back, jump forward We can do this too! A hedgehog once asked a snail: “How do you run?” - "No way. I don’t have the strength for a physical minute.” But we can’t do that! |
Let's jump!
| Among the fir trees and pines, a little bunny is jumping. We are jumping frogs We are friends - we don’t fight, We jump over bumps all day long, We play sports! Ken-gu-ru gallops deftly in the morning. The gnome on his left leg jumped along the path, and when he was completely tired, suddenly he jumped on his right leg. Straighten your shoulders, Green grasshoppers. | And we are from heel to toe, Jump-jump, jump-jump. We sat down in order and went squatting. Jump-jump, jump-jump, Land on your toes. A multi-colored ball bounces along the path. Along the path, along the path, From the birch tree to the aspen tree, From the aspen tree turn, I galloped the other way around. Try your best to get to the hill! |
Bear cubs
| The cubs lived in the thicket, twisting their heads. Like this! Like this! The cubs were looking for honey, and they rocked the tree together. Like this! Like this! They waddled around and drank water from the river. Like this! Like this! | And then they danced, raising their paws higher. Like this! Like this! We squatted until we dropped And, of course, we got tired. Like this! Like this! They sat quietly on the stumps and wanted to learn. Like this! Like this! |
Zverobika (poems by A. Khait, A. Levenbuk)
| The cat sat down on the window and began to wash her ears with her paw. After watching her a little, Her movements can be repeated. Chorus: One, two, three - Well, repeat, Three, four, five - Repeat again. Very good! A snake crawls along a forest path, a carriage glides along the ground, and we can depict such a movement with our hands. Chorus. | A heron stands all day in the swamp And catches young frogs with its beak. It’s not at all difficult to stand like that for us, trained guys. Chorus. A monkey came down from a branch to us, The monkey must be respected, After all, monkeys are our ancestors, And we must imitate our ancestors, children! Chorus. There are a lot of monkeys, cats, birds and snakes in the world. But, man, you are the king of nature And you must know the habits of all animals! |
Aerobics for Bobik (poems by Yu. S. Entin)
| Murka said to Bobik from apartment number five: “We need to do aerobics, so as not to fall behind in life.” Since then, poor Bobik has lost peace and sleep, rubs his forehead with his furry paw, but he cannot understand. Chorus: What is “A”. What is "E". What is “Ro-Bi-Ka”. He wanted to ask the bunny - There’s no way to catch him, He asked the parrot - | He said: “Fool ass.” What to do, poor Bobik lost his peace and sleep. He rubs his forehead with his furry paw, but he cannot understand. Chorus. The children took pity on Bobik from apartment number five, What is aerobics? They helped him understand. And now happy Bobik has again found peace and sleep And he doesn’t rub his forehead with his paw, Because he knows! Chorus. |

Appendix 2
Game “Is this true or not” I ask you to give an answer: Is this true or not? So as not to deal with germs, do you need to harden yourself, children? To avoid getting sick, do you need to sleep the whole day? If you want to be strong, do you need to be friends with sports? To avoid getting sick in winter, should you sing outside? And do vitamins save us from the flu, from a sore throat? Will you eat onions and garlic - the cold won't find you? Do you want to become the strongest? Start licking the icicles! Eat more vitamins - Will you be strong and beautiful?
