In the context of ongoing changes in modern society, issues related to the organization of a healthy lifestyle of people are of particular relevance. Creating conditions for maintaining and strengthening physical and mental health is one of the main tasks of primary schools. The research of many authors is aimed at studying the conditions of a healthy lifestyle of primary school children using various tools and technologies, but there are still unexplored methods and techniques for forming the value attitude of the younger generation to their health in extracurricular activities. Our study involved the study of ideas about a healthy lifestyle in primary school children. A three-stage experiment was conducted, the main directions were identified, on the basis of which the program of extracurricular activities "rainbow of health"was compiled. The experiments involved 84 primary school children from schools in Nizhny Novgorod at the age of 8-9 years. Experimental data from the ascertaining stage indicate that children of primary school age do not understand enough what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and, consequently, do not adhere to the necessary rules. Experimental analysis of the control stage showed the dynamics of the formation of ideas about a healthy lifestyle in younger students. Children have knowledge about health and a healthy lifestyle, are interested in questions about health and healthy lifestyle, and know ways to preserve and promote health.
