LER 2572

Skills:

• Learn how to choose a healthy diet
with a variety of foods

• Learn the food groups

• Practice categorizing foods into the
correct food groups

Includes:

• 5 double-sided food group and
mealtime cards

• 90 double-sided food photo cards

The Nutrition Card Set, for use with the Tabletop Pocket Chart (LER 2523),
is perfect for students learning about nutrition. Set up a nutrition learning
center for 2 to 4 students and have them practice sorting the food cards by
food group. Students should place the food cards in the pockets under the
correct food group card. Each food card has the food’s name printed on the
front and the name of its food group printed on the back, allowing students
to quiz each other or check their own work by flipping over the card. The
back of each food card is also color coded to match the food group.

This card set can also be used for individual students to plan a well­balanced breakfast or dinner. Place the mealtime card (Breakfast, Lunch or
Dinner) in the top pocket and have the student place food cards under each
mealtime card creating a menu that uses all the food groups.

Great for every classroom!

Once students are familiar with the card set, hold up two or more food
cards (photograph side showing) and ask students which card in the group
is the most nutritious or how many cups or ounces of that food group, to
which it belongs, you need daily. See the health benefits for each food group
below. Students will also enjoy taking a class poll of their favorite fruits or
vegetables and graphing the results on a separate piece of paper or on the
blackboard.

The Nutrition Tabletop Pocket Chart Card Set will help students learn about
