OverviewLearners have previous experience of looking at food groups and understanding the categories that foods fall into. They use this understanding to classify and sort the food pictures provided.
ActivityAsk the learners to think about all the foods they know and create a list of these foods.Using Resource 4, ask the learners to work in pairs to sort the pictures into healthy and unhealthy foods.Encourage them to suggest different ways of sorting their pictures – for example into ‘sweet’ and ‘savoury’ – and allow them to carry out their own sort, individually or in pairs.Remind the learners about the five different food groups. Using the list of foods they have created, discuss the types of food they might see in each group.Provide copies of Resource 5 and ask the learners to use the categories provided to sort the pictures into the food groups.When they have finished, ask them to explain where they put each food and why.
Ideas for Differentiation
Decreasing DifficultyUse a selection of real food items and sort them for one criterion, which the learners could suggest (for example fruit/not fruit).Use only a small selection of the food cards and make the sorting categories personal, such as ‘foods I like’ and ‘foods I don’t like’.
Increasing DifficultyAsk the learners to create a dinner menu which incorporates at least one item from each food group.Provide pictures of relatively unhealthy foods and drinks, and ask the learners to choose healthier alternatives and talk about the reasons for their choices.
