Food Pyramid
Idea by Cathy


 

I did an activity on the Word of Wisdom. I got some great information off the Healthy Kids Website.  We started off reading D & C 89. Then we did a warm up activity where I divided them up in teams and gave them all grocery ads and a paper plate. Whoever came up with a meal representing all four food groups won. Then, I went over the information I got off the website. There is a lot of great information about the ill effects of caffeine, smoking, etc. There is information on the benefits of eating right, drinking water and exercising. There are also a lot of easy recipes. After going over the information, we played Food Pyramid. Like the "Pyramid" game show on TV. I divided up teams and made up categories like "Members of the Milk Group" or "Consequences of Smoking/Tobacco Use". Whichever team got all their questions answered correctly first, won. We ended the night making "Tiny Pizzas". The recipe is on the site, but it's just bagels, pizza sauce, cheese and whatever veggies they might like.
