The "Feeling Blue?" article in the Time for Kids Teacher's Guide discusses the challenges of winter on mental and physical health, particularly in cold, dark regions. It explores why people may feel down in the winter, how sunlight can help improve mood, and ways to care for mental and physical health during the season. The guide includes discussion questions, activities like a Kahoot! quiz, and an experiment on the importance of handwashing during cold and flu season. Students are encouraged to keep a wellness journal and reflect on activities that bring them joy and promote health. [Extracted from the article]
