Grade Level(s): 1

Subject(s):

  • Health/Nutrition

Overview:

The students have been studying Nutrition. We have studied the five food groups. This particular activity was designed to help the students plan a well balanced snack around St. Patrick’s Day. This means nearly everything they eat has to be green.

Purpose:

This lesson helps the students plan and prepare a nutritious snack that is green.

Objectives:

  • Discuss each of the five food groups. Draw and label all food that is green under each food group.
  • Students will create a green St. Patrick’s Day Snack using all five food groups.
  • Students will help the teacher prepare the snack.
  • Students will eat their green St. Patrick’s Day Snack.

    • Materials:

    • Food; broccoli, green apples, luncheon meat
    • Dip ingredients
    • Bread Maker, and ingredients for making bread
    • Knife for cutting fruit and vegetables
    • Milkshake ingredients and mixer
    • Paper plates and napkins

    Procedure:

  • Draw and label all five food groups with foods that are green.
  • Write a green snack menu for the class.
  • Make green bread with the teacher’s bread machine.
  • Clean and cut green apples and broccoli.
  • Make green sour cream dip for the broccoli.
  • Make green milkshakes.

    • Tying It All Together:

    The students will enjoy eating the green bread that they watched mixing and baking all day. Eating green meat did not sound very good, so we decided to use ham with their green bread too make a sandwich. The students enjoyed dipping broccoli in the green dip. The green apples and the green milkshake added to the St. Patrick’s Day snack. To complete the St. Patrick’s Day snack we used St. Patrick’s Day paper goods.
