Write student responses on the board. If they think the food is healthful snack, students should raise one hand. If they think the snack is unhealthful, students should raise both hands. Name a wide variety of snacks for students to respond to. Snacks may come from all of the food groups on the food pyramid.
Groups brainstorm snacks.
Divide the class into five groups. Ask groups to brainstorm a list of foods in their food group that would be healthful snacks. Groups make collages. Identify possible choices. Consider the positive and negative consequences of each choice.
