The Food Pyramid tells you to eat the right foods. From the bread group, you should have 6-11 servings each day. From the fruit group you should have 2-4 servings each day.
From the veggie group 3-5 servings each day. From the meat group 2-3 and the dairy group has the same servings you should have that each day. You should eat fat sparingly.
The Food Pyramid comes from The United States Department of Agriculture to make you pick the right choices and to make it easier for you. We learned that kidney beans are in the meat group and tofu is in the meat group too! Bread groups and the fruit groups have a lot of vitamins like C and A.
We played Food Pyramid Bingo.
Our first grade buddies and parents played it like any other bingo game. It has foods that are healthy for you.
The game has a house shaped board and square pieces that have pictures that are called out. If it is on your board cover it with a yellow square if you get five in a row you win something.
We learned a lot playing Food Pyramid Bingo.
