Materials Required:
Bulletin board
Pictures or cut-outs of healthy and unhealthy foods
Velcro or magnetic strips (optional, for attaching and moving items)
Labels or headings for “Healthy Foods” and “Unhealthy Foods”
Markers or crayons for additional labeling
Steps Involved:
Preparation:
Set up the bulletin board with two distinct sections: one for healthy foods and one for unhealthy foods.
Attach labels or headings to each section to clearly identify them.
Placing Food Items:
Arrange pictures or cut-outs of various foods on the board. You can use Velcro or magnetic strips if you want to make the items movable for interactive play.
Exploration and Discussion:
Introduce the bulletin board to the students and explain the purpose of each section.
Discuss with the students why certain foods are categorized as healthy or unhealthy, focusing on the benefits of healthy foods and the drawbacks of unhealthy ones.
Interactive Activity:
Allow students to add or move food items to the correct section of the board. This can be done individually or in small groups.
Encourage students to explain their choices and reasoning as they place the food items.
Reflection:
Have a group discussion about the foods on the board and what makes certain foods a better choice for our health.
Reinforce the concept of making healthier food choices in daily life.
