Directions

1. Break students into six groups and give them their triangle.

2. Place all of the foods mixed up together on the rug.

3. Each group independently needs to choose to work as a searcher or a gluer.

4. The searchers job is to go to the pictures and find the foods that should be glued to their triangles.

5. The gluer's job is to go to remain with the triangles and cut the pictures to fit on the triangles.

6. Once all of the triangles are filled, bring them to the meeting rug and have each group review the foods that they glued onto their triangle.

Lesson Extensions

1. Have students work in their food groups to brainstorm a dish that they can make for the class that uses some of the foods in their triangle.

2. My Colorful Plate: Give each child a piece of white paper with a large circle drawn on it. This circle is the plate. Remind them that a colorful plate is the healthiest plate. Tell the children that you want them to make a colorful plate with the leftover magazine cutouts. Have all the children gather in a circle and share their plate with the group or a friend.

Home Connection

Ask the children to take note of what they had for dinner and talk with their families about the food groups they ate from over the course of the day. Discuss findings with the class the following day.

Make a book with your parents and siblings called "The Food Groups We Eat". Once completed, bring it to school and share it. *Maybe a parent will have the time to come and read their family's book to the class.
