What do you already know about food groups?

What Will We Learn Today?

At the end of the lesson you will be able to name and sort foods into the 5 main food groups to help make a balanced plate.

Let’s Meet the Food Groups!

There are 5 main food groups. Each group helps our bodies in a different way. Let’s find out what they are!

1. Fruit and Vegetables

Fruits and veggies give us vitamins and help keep us healthy and strong. Try to eat lots of different colours!

2. Carbohydrates

Foods like bread, rice, pasta and potatoes give us energy to run, jump and play.

3. Proteins

Meat, fish, eggs, beans and nuts help to build muscles and keep our bodies strong.

4. Dairy

Milk, cheese and yoghurt are full of calcium, which helps our bones and teeth grow.

5. Fats and Oils

Foods with fats and oils give us energy. We only need a little bit to stay healthy.

How Would You Sort These Foods?

Cheese, Carrot, Oil

Banana, Egg, Bread
