Healthy Food Group Worksheets

As parents, we want to ensure that our kids eat nutritious meals, but we also need to teach them about nutrition so that they grow up to make the right choices.

This healthy food group worksheets will help kids understand that if foods can’t fall into one of the food groups, they’re likely junk.

I know kids can’t turn down that yummy chocolate bar but it’s still important to let them know what they should be eating and why.

We’ve gone over all of the major food groups and why they belong to each of those groups.

Check out more worksheets like this in my list of Health Worksheets for Kids.

If you need more information on what kids should be eating, take a look at the Canada Food Guide.

It’s important to stress the importance of fruit and vegetables. If you don’t make a conscious effort to have healthy food in your home, they won’t have the option of choosing them.

This goes for me too, if I buy a bag of cookies, I know the temptation will be there so it’s just better to not buy them.

The healthy foods for kids printable includes:

2 pages of different types of foods to cut out
3 pages to sort the foods in groups
1 page of a food diary to help your kids keep track of their meals
1 page of a plate to show portion sizes

Your child can categorize the different foods into different food groups, you can also discuss the alternatives for the dairy and meat categories, like yogurt and legumes.

Also, analyze what they ate that day, did they miss any of the food groups? What can they eat to make up for it?
