Pictured is a poster board that was part of the food groups relay race we had during one of our workshops with the 2nd and 3rd graders at the Pierce Elementary School in Brookline. The kids took turns sorting paper images of foods into cups labeled either vegetables, fruits, whole grains, or proteins. Once the game ended, each team was given a pre-labeled poster board, and the kids took the paper foods from each cup and taped them into the appropriate category. This activity helped to reinforce the four main food groups by having them put the foods into the proper category themselves. They had so much fun playing the game and learned a lot through our workshop with them!
