THE RACE TO HEALTHLAND 

Something to make for Easter 

A race, a race, to Healthland, 
Before the close of day; 
We all sit down to breakfast 
Before we go to play.

Sammy has a piece of toast 

And a glass of milk so tall; 

Johnny has a nice fresh egg, 

But Peggy has them all.  

A race, a race, to Healthland. 

Now guess who won today. 

I'm sure that Peggy got there first, 

For she seemed to know the way. 

For design 

These jingles and toys are intended first grade children, using the play ideao to put over necessary health lessons. Many pupils come to school without adequate breakfasts, and these are always children from poor homes.

First, the teacher should  teach the rhyme, which may also be used for supplementary reading material. The child's own name may be used instead of Peggy.

How and when the toy Peggy is made?- directions for the teacher

Show the toy, and promise it as a reward for a certain number of good breakfasts eaten. When about half the class have the number required to their credit, the whole class may make the toy. Those ,ready to receive one, may take theirs home; the others are taking theirs, as they complete their records. .

 Peggy's hair may be yellow and her eyes blue. The dress which forms the egg. when the head is turned upside down. should be white/ The egg cup may be pink, or blue- according to the wishes of the individual child. A stand may be pasted on the back, if desired;- then the toy may be placed on the breakfast table, and Peggy will help the children to eat their breakfasts. 

The poster maybe used as the coloring page, or printed out as the decoration of the blackboard of the class for the month of March.
