Instructions

The person leading the activity should give out the first page of the ‘Find food’ word-search sheet and the pencils. Tell everyone to try and find as many food items in the word-search as they can. When they find a food item, they should draw a circle around it, so that it can still be read.

If someone’s put a line through a word they’ve found, give them an eraser to rub out the line so that they can draw a circle around it.

Give everyone fifteen minutes. When this time has passed, the person leading the activity should hand out the second page of the ‘Find food’ word-search sheet. This should show the solutions to them.

The person leading the activity should explain that the foods in the word-search are all part of different food groups. Each group contains something we need every day to keep us healthy and happy. The person leading the activity should give out the coloured pencils and everyone should colour-code their completed word-searches (e.g. ‘Proteins’ are red) to show the food groups as they are listed on the second page of the ‘Find food’ word-search sheet.

Everyone should try to think of foods that fit into the different food groups. If it’s easier, they can work in small groups. They should think about what the food looks and tastes like, if they know it. Give them ten minutes. When this time has passed, everyone should write down three food items for each group on the second page of the ‘Find food’ word-search sheet. These should not include any of the food items that were in the word-search.
