The My Plate beanbags will be used for a grocery shopping relay where students will fill up each food group grocery bag with the corresponding food group item. By practicing this skill in PE class, students will be prepared to select foods from each food group when filling their plate or packing their lunchbox. This skill will be important for the rest of their lives to keep their bodies happy and healthy. The My Plate organizer is a visual reminder of what goes in each of the five food groups so students can balance their meals. The fruit and vegetable beanbags will be used for various fun activities such as tag and relay races. They will learn how to focus on fruits and vary their veggies in a fun way that encourages and reminds them to eat the rainbow when it comes to these two food groups.
By donating to our project, students will take their nutrition learning to the next-level and develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
These materials make learning about nutrition engaging and fun for students which will ensure that these important ideas stick with them now and as they grow into adults.
