Students work with the Food Guide Pyramid. For this Food Guide Pyramid lesson, students draw a large rendering of the food pyramid on a piece of butcher paper. They cut out pictures of foods and place them on the food pyramid, they play a food pyramid game, and discuss the portions of food that they need to complete the pyramid. They write a letter to a family member or teacher telling about one food that they will substitute with a healthy choice.
