Development of“ Dance Program(Hone-hone-dance) ” and Its Practice in Nutrition Education( Shokuiku)

Abstract

In order to practice an enjoyable shokuiku and to promote the spread of“ Tokushima Food Guide Spinning Top”, we developed“ dance program( Hone-hone-dance) ” intended for infants and combined it with “Hand and Spinning Top shokuiku program” that we previously developed. In addition, we frequently had a lecture to guide the practical procedure of our dance in the shokuiku program at the training course intended for the shokuiku practitioners at the local areas. Questionnaire survey was performed to the infant's guardian and the shokuiku practitioners. The subjected data indicated that the dance program is easy, joyful, and good to understand the nutrition using our body, suggesting that the program is effective and useful tool for nutrition education.
