1. This program begins with a puppet show of jungle animals getting ready for a talent show but they are having some health problems at first. They work through their problems and have a great talent show.
2. We then discuss MyPlate and all the components.
3. As we go through MyPlate, we tie it back to the puppets of the puppet show and what their problems were
4. We go through the other keys of happiness and tie those to the puppets.
5. Lastly, the participants do the freeze dance.
