Time: 15-60 minutes Balance Your Plate Materials: Artificial foods (or pictures of foods), paper plates, coloring supplies (green, orange, blue, red), transparency (or SmartBoard) and writing tools, children’s book Objectives: o Students will verbally state which color on the food plate corresponds with each food group. o Students will make a balanced plate, with a food item from each food group, through participating in a relay game. Introduction o Read a children’s book that covers the topic of food. Introduce the topic of a healthy, balance plate by reading a kids book that encourages eating a healthy meal such as D.W. the Picky Eater (Marc Brown), Gregory the Terrible Eater (Mitchell Sharmat), or The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Eric Carle). (These books are just suggestions; teachers can do their own research to find a book that covers the topic of healthy eating. Books will vary based on target audience for lesson.) We’re going to read (title of the book). This is a story about food, and the importance of eating healthy. After we read the story, we’re going to talk about what some of your favorite meals to eat are. If you have older students you may want to find an article dealing with food or show a video clip of cooking. o Discussion of some favorite meals. One of my favorite meals to eat is lasagna and salad, what are some of your favorite meals? Instruction o Discuss the need to eat different food groups at each meal. Our body needs many nutrients to be healthy. The best way to get all the nutrients is to eat foods from various food groups at each meal. Focusing on eating foods from three different food groups at each meal is a way to have a balanced diet. Remember there are five different food groups. Fruits and vegetables have nutrients that keep your body healthy. Grains give your body energy. Meats and beans keep your muscles strong. Dairy gives you strong bones and teeth. Oils and fats are okay in small amounts, they give your body cushion. Write the names of the food groups on the board as you list them. 23
