I have made some bingo boards which match these images so added the file for future groups to use.

Instructions

Before you begin
- Print sets of the food images, and cut them up. You’ll need one set for each small group.
- Print enough lunchbox images for each group to have one each. Alternatively, you could use real lunchboxes or tubs.

Chat about food
1. Split into small groups. Each group should talk about what they think the main food groups are, what a healthy diet looks like, and whether it’s important to have a healthy diet.
2. Once the groups have had a chance to chat about healthy diets, everyone should come together. The person leading the game should help everyone understand the main food groups, and how they all come together to make a balanced diet. [We’ve made a sheet with some information to help you chat about the different food groups.]

Play lunchbox relay
1. Split into groups of about five people. Each group should line up on one side of the room, behind a pile of food pictures.
2. The person leading the game should put one lunchbox opposite each team, on the other side of the room.
3. The person leading the game should call out a food group.
4. The first person in each line should pick up an item from that food group, that they think would be a tasty addition to lunch. They should run to the other side of the room and put it into their team’s lunchbox. They should then run back to their team, and join the back of the line.
5. The person leading the game should call out all of the food groups once. They should then call them all out again, in a different order this time, until everyone’s put two foods in their team’s lunchbox.
6. Each team should collect their lunchbox, and think about the foods inside. How could each team use the foods in their lunchbox to make a tasty meal?
