Food Groups Information Match

Overview:

This activity encourages students to match each food group to its description and corresponding food list. It helps students understand the role of each food group in a balanced diet. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the role of each food group in maintaining a balanced diet.
• Identify different foods within each food group.
• Develop sorting and matching skills.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a set of descriptions for each food group (e.g., fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy, fats/sweets) along with a list of foods. They are tasked with cutting and pasting the food groups to match the correct description and food list. After matching, students can discuss the importance of each food group and why certain foods belong to each group. This activity reinforces key nutrition concepts and supports healthy eating habits.
