Objective: analysis and execution of an educative intervention with the purpose to promote, develop, and improve knowledge and healthy habits in students. Methods: a cuasi experimental design. This study included all the students registered in an elementary public school from Hermosillo, Sonora. Five modules were designed according to principles of constructivism: meals and hygiene, self esteem, smoking habits and addictions, culture for peace, environment care, and they were applied. The activities were carried out by a health promoter in an hour- session weekly per each group. An evaluation was given pre and post intervention in order to measure any changes in knowledge. Results: scholars' knowledge increased about these different topics, their self esteem increased, and some practices related to meals and their environment improved. Conclusion: it is necessary to continue this kind of practice in order for achieving an integral effect on the early cognitive development stages of students and for contextualizing the social, cultural, and economic components incorporating the participation of teachers and parents in order to guarantee the sustainability.
