This exciting health education programme transports infants to the court of Prince Yannis, one of the unhealthiest, laziest and most unhygienic princes ever. Recruited by Yannis’ long-suffering personal chef, Cookie, the pupils must transform his lifestyle before Prince Yannis will be allowed to be crowned King Yannis. 

Through the fictional character of Yannis, Fit for a King, explores some of the choices that Key Stage 1 children make concerning nutrition, exercise and hygiene. The children offer advice in the drama about the King’s lifestyle and see how particular choices affect his health. 

By enabling children and young people to develop patterns of healthy eating and exercise the foundations are laid for healthier lifestyles in adulthood.
