Our Pyramids
Have children cut out a circle for a head. Have the children print their names on the back of the circle. Then cut out rectangles for arms and legs. Trace the childrens hands and shoes for them to cut out (or children pair up and trace each others hands and shoes). From a large paper cut out a triangle for each child.
Glue the triangle to the head. Glue the arms, legs, hands, and shoes to the triangle to form a person. Have small pictures of food from each food group. Children glue which foods they like onto the triangle.
Draw on details such as a face and hair. Hang up with the title "Our Pyramids"
Group Time
Food Pyramid
Draw a large Food Pyramid. Write the name of each section in each pyramid section (grains-breads, proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy). Have a variety of food pictures. The children take turns placing the food picture in the correct section.
Food Pyramid Sort
Use masking tape or poster board to make a large food pyramid outline on the floor. Have children take turns sorting pictures of different foods or play food into the correct section of the food pyramid.
