Healthy diet choices worksheet | Egg Recipes

Ask pupils to recall some of the foods that are considered healthy and those that are less healthy.
Tell pupils that the foods we eat can be put into different groups and that there are five main groups. Explain that special doctors who know a lot about helping people stay healthy have suggested how much of each of the food groups to eat.
Show pupils the interactive activity ‘Do you eat healthily?’ which shows how the different food groups contribute to a balanced diet. Talk about the kinds of foods that should be eaten a lot and those that should be eaten in moderation.
Give each pupil a copy of the Healthy Diet Choices worksheet and explain that they should write and/or draw at least one food in each of the different areas. There are some suggestions of foods they could include but they might like to think of their own ideas.
After pupils have completed the tasks, you might like a few to show and comment on the foods they have included in the different boxes.
To conclude, talk about the different people or places that could help pupils find out more about eating well (e.g. parents, teachers, doctors, books, websites, local sports clubs).
