A Food Guide Pyramid tells you how much you should eat a day. How much do you eat a day? Do you eat enough a day? Well, making healthful food choices can be hard to do. The Food Pyramid can help you to eat right. The Food Pyramid was created by the United States Department of Agriculture, USDA for short. Nutrients are very important to everybody!!!!
Here is how to Play Food Guide Pyramid-the game. First you will need a Food Pyramid that is empty and you will need two people to play this game. First you take some foods and try to match the foods to the Food Pyramid. Each time you match a food you should tell the person that you are playing with how many servings you should have of that group a day!
We played this with our guests at our Nutrition Fair. We played it in small groups with our first grade buddies.
