Additionally, evaluate the nutrition of your school's lunch program. Speak to the person responsible for ordering foods and planning menus, and learn about the required guidelines to which schools adhere. Then, list ways that people could continue to do these activities and also incorporate healthier habits. Divide students into groups of three. Assign the groups the task of designing a menu for a healthy lunch.
Groups then share their menus and explanations of their choices.
On the board, the teacher writes down the food items that the groups mention. When all groups have read their menus and explanations, discuss why similar items were listed. Then, ask students to explain which lunch is the one that they would most like to eat and why. Take an inventory of the food you have at home. Create a poster representing a nutritional information panel from a food package.
