Project 7 — Plan a menu (Grades 4-6)



|

|
Sometimes people want to eat healthy meals, but they end up in situations where the only options are sugary, unnutritious foods like cake or potato chips. Can you design delicious, but healthy and balanced menus for the following events or activities? Don't forget to include beverages. Present your menu on a poster, using photos or illustrations of the food items you chose. Add notes to explain why each food item is a healthy choice. Some suggestions for menus are:
• picnic or barbecue with family or friends
• meal in a local ethnic food restaurant, such as Chinese, Mexican, or Italian
• backpacking trip into the mountains
• birthday party
• bag lunch
• breakfast to prepare your mind and body for school
