I'm a Nutrition Intern at a Child Care Center. I'm going to be teaching 5 year olds about healthy eating. So far I was thinking of doing a cooking activity and teaching them the food guide pyramid. I have a food guide pyramid made out of felt where the kids can put the different foods on the appropriate part of the pyramid. I also have a bunch of fake foods made out of plastic (veggies, fruits, breakfast foods, lunch foods, and dinner foods). They come in baskets. They're cute and would be fun to use but i'm not sure what I should do with them. Any fun ideas?
There's between 15-20 kids in the class and at least 3 teachers.
I've never taught 5 year olds before. The youngest age i've taught was 2nd graders. I'm not a teacher and i'm not familiar with a 5 yr old's skill level.
