Good Nutrition Relay Race

Materials:
Pictures or plastic models of foods from the food pyramid
Masking Tape

Directions:

Take masking tape and make a diagram of the pyramid. Discuss the food pyramid and explain what types of food go into each category. Divide children into two teams. Children in each team take a turn picking a food picture and placing it in the correct area of the pyramid before returning to tag the next person in line. Have someone stand by the pyramid and help students who are having trouble with identifying food.
