Once In A While Foods
• You should only eat some foods once in a
while because they have a lot of sugar and
solid fats in them.
• Examples of once in a while foods include:
○ Cookies
○ Sugary drinks
○ Ice cream
○ Bacon
○ Potato chips
○ Candy bars

Make Healthy Choices
• Choose fruit or vegetables instead of
candy
• Choose water instead of soda
• Choose yogurt instead of ice cream

Student activity ideas:
1. Print off ChooseMyPlate.gov coloring
sheets from http://www.choosemyplate.
gov/print-materials-ordering.html under
“Materials for Children” and have students
color foods that they like from each food
group on the plate. You could also give
each group a list of foods to draw and
color on their section.
2. Cut or tear out pictures of different foods
from magazines and have students put
each picture into the food group it belongs
in.
3. During snack time, talk about healthy
choices for snacking and once in a while
foods.
