A healthy, balanced meal
Create and write about a healthy, balanced meal. Try to include foods from different food groups to create variety.
Discussion points
- What are the main food groups?
- Why is variety in our diet important?
- What does a 'balanced diet' mean?
Teaching tips:
Use this activity to support learning about the basic principles of a healthy and varied diet.
Suggestions:
- Ask children to identify which food groups different foods belong to
- Explore and identify food from different cultures
- Create a range of plates of food and discuss whether the meals are considered healthy and varied.
Remember to highlight that you do not need to achieve balance with every meal, but you should aim for balance over a day or even a week.
