FAQ
How do I use the Healthy Food Groups Posters?
⌄
Hang the posters in the classroom, cafeteria or home kitchen. Read one aloud, then ask children to name foods from each group or build their own plate.
What are the Healthy Food Groups Posters?
⌄
Four pages after the cover. Page 1 is a Build a Healthy Plate poster with all five groups. Page 2 covers fruits and vegetables (apple, banana, carrot, broccoli, tomato and more). Page 3 covers grains and protein (bread, rice, popcorn, chicken, beans and fish). Page 4 covers dairy, sometimes foods like donuts and cookies, and water. Each group says why we need it.
Can I use the Healthy Food Groups Posters at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 3rd Grade food, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 3rd Grade food groups resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are food groups resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 5-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these food groups resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 3rd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
