help! i need to plan a day of activities for preschoolers!?

i’m taking a child psychology class in school (i’m in high school) and we have a preschool class that we work with
so for our major assignment for the class, we have to plan a “day” for the kids
we have to plan a craft, pick a book to read, and a physical game/activity that goes with our theme
my partner picked the theme: health & nutrition

you could play the shopping game where you make a list with pics and then they have to find the things around the room and tick them off and put them in their basket use healthy food!
maybe this would be better done in groups make and print of a pic of a plate and laminate it then find different foods on the net that they would know healthy and unhealthy print off and laminate cut up (make a few plates and food) get a bowl or tub to be the bin then take in turns to pick one of the laminated pieces out of a bag if its healthy put on their plate if not in the bin but let them decide could also make drinks juice milk etc and a pudding maybe make it so the only need to pick meat and 2 veg type of thing for main one pudding and one drink if they already had the meat just put it back in the pot.
ok complicated to explain but bear with me lol draw a child size body shape on paper (real life size) and stick it on the wall put a big tub by the side of the child(picture) and then youl need to get either pics or real thing a toothbrush, a fruit, sandwich, drinks bottle, bike/scooter, something for dinner, pyjamas, toothbrush, basicly things they need to keep healthy and 1 by one the children must run from one end of the room to the other put item in the tub run back then the next goes back and forth till the end, wither split into groups which might be better for preschoolers concentration.adapt it to what would be easier!!
