Play
the supermarket shopping trip game.
Paste
bright magazine
pictures of nutritious and junk
food on 20 cm by 27.5
cm (8" x 11") pieces of construction paper.
Make
sure that all the children can identify each picture before arranging
the cards on a table.
Give
one child a basket and designate him or her as "the shopper."
The
shopper selects a card and says :
"I am
shopping for nutritious food, so I will put some in my basket."
The
shopper shows the card to the class, puts it in the basket and repeats
the process until he or she has selected five foods representing the
five food groups.
If
the shopper selects a junk food, the
class
chants, "Forget it! "
The
shopper returns the card to the table, provided he or she agrees with
the decision.
An
incorrect decision by the class
allows the
shopper to make two extra selections.
The
child who can repeat the shopping list in the order in which it was
selected becomes the next shopper.
