Choosing a Healthy Plate

 Material:

 How to make it:

1.      Brainstorm and draw pictures of the food that you ate during the day… or during just one meal.

2.      Color in the pictures.

3.      Cut out the images and place them near the giant plate. Laminate them if you plan to use them again and again.

4.      Talk to the student about each food group .

5.      Have the students place the different foods on the plate (fruits and vegetables)

It is a great activity to build language vocabulary and introduce them to new words. It is also the opportunity to provides for social conversation, question asking, and turn taking.
