Icebreaker: What Did You Eat Today?
- Begin by asking students what they ate for breakfast or a snack today.
- Use the Fueling Our Bodies Slide Deck (Slide 1) to introduce the topic.
- Explain that some foods help our bodies grow big and strong, while others don't.
- Encourage a few students to share, guiding them to identify if their shared food was 'good for their body' or 'sometimes food'.

• Display Slide 2 of the Fueling Our Bodies Slide Deck and discuss what 'healthy' means for our bodies (gives energy, helps us grow, keeps us from getting sick).
  - Display Slide 3 and discuss what 'unhealthy' means (can make us feel tired, tummy ache, not good for our teeth).
  - Use the Healthy vs. Unhealthy Sort Cards to visually sort examples of food and drinks into two categories: 'Healthy' and 'Unhealthy'. Ask students to help decide where each card goes and explain why.
  - Emphasize that 'unhealthy' foods are okay sometimes, but healthy foods are best most of the time.

• Hand out the My Healthy Plate Worksheet and crayons/markers.
  - Explain that students will draw or color healthy foods on their plate.
  - Circulate and provide assistance, encouraging students to name the healthy foods they are adding.
  - Display Slide 4 of the Fueling Our Bodies Slide Deck to provide examples and reinforce the concept.

• Show various food images on Slide 5 of the Fueling Our Bodies Slide Deck.
  - For each image, ask students to give a 'thumbs up' if it's generally healthy and a 'thumbs down' if it's generally unhealthy.
  - Briefly review the main idea: eating healthy helps our bodies stay strong and happy!
  - Collect the My Healthy Plate Worksheet to check for understanding.
