Pyramid Pals |
| |
| This program introduces students to the USDA Food Pyramid Guidance System in a fun way! The lesson also discusses exercise and how the correct foods we eat give us the energy our bodies need to exercise and play.
A group of two to three JA members prepare a lesson and set up a large colorful poster in the front of the classroom. The students are then given a booklet to follow along with the lesson. One member dresses up in a colorful Pyramid Pal costume and reads the dialogue to the students along with another member or the teacher. The students participate by using the Food Pyramid worksheet to fill out with the lesson information. After the lesson, the students are encouraged to take home their lesson packet with eating tips for families. The classroom can also play an online interactive computer game called My Pyramid Blast off. |
