Food Pyramid Graphing
Take the Food Pyramid challenge!
1. Make one copy of this sheet for each child.
2. The graph below shows the recommended servings for children ages 6-11. (Preschool
children may need less food.) Have the child color in one square each time he/she eats a
serving from each of the food groups below.
3. At the end of the day, talk with the child
about his/her graph.
Ask:
Did you eat enough veggies?
Did you eat enough fruits?
Did you eat too much? or too little?
