Healthy eating plate

Children compose a healthy meal from food pictures cut out on a paper plate.

Steps

1. Conversation: what gives us strength and what we eat less of.
2. The teacher shows the plate: half vegetables and fruit, a quarter grains, a quarter protein.
3. Children cut out food from advertising flyers.
4. They stick it on a paper plate according to the proportions.
5. Movement game: on the word 'fruit' we jump, on the word 'sweets' we sit down.

Tip: Older children can keep a water and movement diary for a week.
