Discussion Question
lXhat
foods do you think are good
for us and why?
Ask students this question and write the answers on the board. Discuss with students the importance
of knowing what foods are good for our bodies.
(ANswrn: We need to know what foods are good for us so we can remember to eat them.)
SuultRRy oF SECTIoN 1: Teaches students about the USDA MyPyramid, its food groups, nutrients,
and the benefits of eating a variety of healthy foods from those food groups every day.
ln-Class Activity
1. Summarize what students learn in the video by going over the Pyramid's different food groups
and what foods belong in each of the groups. Refer to list on board from earlier discussion.
2. Pass out the food pictures and make sure students know the names of each food pictured.
3. Have the students color and cut out the food pictures. Older students can label the foods.
4. Pass out "Where does each food belong?" activity sheet to the students and explain it.
5. Have the students glue the food pictures in the correct food group.
6. Have the students share their work with each other or with the class.
7. Pass out the letter home to parents and read together with students. Make sure they take them home.

Date
Dear
Today I learned that eating a lot of different foods is healthy. I learned that there are five food groups
and that I need to eat different foods from each of those food groups. Here is a healthy recipe that has
a food from each of the food groups.
INcRporpNrs:
o 2 cans chicken (10 ounce cans)
o Plain lowfat yogurt (8 ounces)
o Red grapes (1 pound)
o Lettuce leaves
. Tortillas
DrRecrroNs:
1. Open and drain canned chicken.
2. Cut grapes in half.
3. Put chicken, grapes, and yogurt into a bowl and mix.
4. Place a piece of lettuce onto a tortilla.
5. Put chicken salad on the lettuce and ro11 up the tortilla.
6. Eat and enjoy!
Let's draw or write the foods from the Chicken Salad Wrap recipe into the box they belong together.
Then let's make and eat it!
Love,

3. Pass out bingo cards. Important: There are two different bingo cards.
Younger grades: This card has food group names in the boxes, like "grains," "ffuits," "vegetables," etc.
This card is for younger grades.
Older grades: This bingo card has food group names, and what each food group gives our bodies, such
as "energy" (grain group), "vitamins" (fruits and vegetable groups), "calcium" (milk group), and "pro-
tein" (meat and beans group). This card is more difficult since students will have to figure out how
each food benefits our body.
4. Now explain the game. Hold up one food picture. Have students tell you what food it is and
which food group it belongs in. For example, if you hold up a picture of yogurt students should
respond "yogurt belongs in the milk group." Now ask students to write the word "yogurt" in one of the
squares that says "milk." Older students: "yogurt" could be written in a box that says either "calcium"
or "milk." Explain to students that even though they all have the same bingo sheet, they will have
different results since there is more than one box for each of the food groups and each student may
choose a different box.
5. Ji3ll students that they can win the game by filling in the boxes in a complete line (across, down,
or diagonal). It is against the rules to erase their answers and move it to another box.
6. Start the game by continuing to hold up food pictures or simply naming a food. After a player has
won, check his/her answers. Continue the game until there are a few winners.
?. Pass out the letter home to parents and read together with students. Have students fill in the blanks.

Further Activities for Teacher
1. VEcEr,qslE SNacr Acrtvrry
Grades K, 1 , 2, 3
Bring in ingredients for the "Vegetables with Dip" recipe in the recipe book to make with the class.
Students can cut up vegetables with plastic knives and coated paper plates. Having students prepare
the snack gives them confidence in food preparation, and it will also make them more willing to try
new foods if they help in the preparation.
2.'WnrrtNc DnscrtoNs FoR MertNc A PEANUT Burrgn AND BANANA SANDwTcH Acrrvrry
Grades4,5,6
) Bring in a big jar of peanut butter, 2 loaves of sliced whole wheat bread, 10 bananas, paper
plates, plastic knives, and napkins for students to make a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Also
bring in a cutting board, knife, and large bowl for the bananas.
l After reading the recipe book as a class, tell the students you want them to write their own
recipe for making a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Sit down in a desk in front of the class with
the jar of peanut butter, loaf of bread still bagged , 113 of a banana, plate, plastic knife, and napkin.
Tell your students you are from Mars and have never made or eaten a peanut butter and banana
sandwich before.
] Ask students to tell you what each of the ingredients is, why each ingredient is healthy, and
what food group it fits in. Then ask them to give you directions on how to make a peanut butter and
banana sandwich.
l As the students direct you, follow their directions exactly. For example, if a student tells you to
put the peanut butter on the bread, take the jar of peanut butter and put it on the loaf of bread. Go
through the whole process of making the sandwich this way until you have your students completely
frustrated. Then finally eat the sandwich exclaiming how delicious it is.
Tell students you want them to write out a recipe for this snack at the back of their recipe books.
' they are finished with their recipes, they can make one of their own to eat and enjoy!

Suvtuanv oF SECTIoN 3: Teaches students about the importance of moving their bodies and the prob-
lems associated with too much screen time.
In-Class Activity
1. Summarize what students leamed in the video. Ask students what they like to do at home and at
school that gets them active. Remind students that being active is fun and healthy.
2. Now tell students they are going to do a special activity that helps them feel how being active
affects their bodies.
3. Start by having students close their eyes and think about how their bodies feel. Tell students that
you will do all the talking while they sit quietly and listen to your directions.
4. Have students think about how their mind, heart, and breathing feels. Tell them to keep their
answers to themselves. They should feel calm and relaxed; tell them this is how they should feel.
Give them one minute to sit quietly as you talk to them in a relaxing way.

Further Activities for Teacher
1. Calonrg BalaNcr Acrtvrrv aNn CseRt:
Food Calories Activity Minutes
2 mini Oreos 30 jogging in place 6
lBring in 1 small bag of mini Oreos, 1 small bag of potato chips, 1 small bag of M&Ms, 10 apples,
1 bag of baby carrots, small paper plates, and napkins. Also bring in cutting board, knife, and large
bowl for the apples.
l'Sfrite out calorie balance chart on the board.
)Explain to students what a calorie is. A calorie is a measure of how much energy is in the food
we eat. If we eat more calories than we use, the extra calories get stored in our bodies as fat and we
gain weight. If we eat fewer calories than we use, we lose weight.
)Explain that we use calories (energy) for everything we do. If we eat lots of calories, we need
to be more active so we use up all of the calories we eat.
l
Explain that for our health, we should try to balance the amount of calories we eat with the
amount of calories we use.
]Show students the calorie balance chart on the board. Ask students questions that relate to
the chart. Do all foods have the same number of calories? What types of foods have more calories?
(ANswrn: high-fat foods)
) Tell students most fruits and vegetables have little or no fat and that is why they have fewer
calories. Remind students that fruits and vegetables also have lots of vitamins and minerals.
)Tell students that they are going to do a calorie balance activity. Tell them that they can choose
to eat one of the foods on the calorie balance chart. Tell them that after they eat the food of their
choice they will jog in place to use up the energy that the snack gave them.
) out to each student his or her food of choice. Make sure to give them the same amount that

health for our entire life.
) Encourage students to eat healthy and MOVE THAf BODY!
l Cut up and pass out the remaining apples and carrots for the students to enjoy as a healthy snack.
