Activities for Health & Beauty Day for Teen Girls

Hygiene Quiz
-
Teaching young girls about personal hygiene and grooming is important within today's society. As girls reach their teen years, they have to learn to care for their changing bodies. Have the teen girls take a self-paced paper or computer quiz answering questions on teeth brushing, bathing, hair and nail care. When they have completed the quiz, they can read proper hygiene answers and explanations on the back of the paper quiz or a separate computer screen. They can compare their answers to the acceptable answers.
Nutritional Snacks
-
Teen girls need a balanced diet to stay strong and energized. Eating nutritionally balanced meals allows teens to reach their maximum height with a healthy weight. Learning simple ways to prepare nourishing foods will promote proper nutrition. Having a cook or chef prepare tidbits of food for sampling is a good way to get teens involved in healthy cooking and food preparation. For example, teaching teens how to season food with spices rather than butter or gravy is a simple option for eating healthy.

Mini-Exercise Session
-
Introduce teen girls to alternative physical techniques to peak their interest in exercise. Get the girls involved in trying mini-instructional sessions in such subjects as yoga, tai chi, kung fu or Zumba. Certain gaming systems have a variety of exercise, dance and sporting activities that require rigorous movement, which can be an option. Tai chi and kung fu instructors can exhibit various movement techniques, while yoga instructors offer muscle strength and flexibility skills. Unlimited exercise options exist.
Makeup Lesson
-
Facial care and makeup sessions can teach teen girls proper skin care and subtle makeup techniques. It's likely that skin and makeup representatives would enjoy giving these makeover sessions. Skin cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing can be taught using some of the attending girls as models. Other teen girls can be used as models for makeup application. Techniques in eyeliner and mascara application can be taught, along with eye shadow shading and blush utilization.
