Ideas for Schools & Teachers

Five-Two-One-Almost None (5-2-1-0)

This campaign will make it easy for kids, parents and teachers to remember that kids:

• Need at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day
• Should be limited to no more than 2 hours per day of "Screen Time" (excluding schoolwork and homework)
• Need at least 1 hour of physical activity everyday
• Should drink almost zero sugar-sweetened beverages
