ACTIVE FOOD
GROUP GAME
(the week
before have girls cut out pictures of different foods and paste
them on construction paper)
- Place a chart that has a
section for the four food groups, plus one for junk food,
on floor in front of each circle (team).
- Place an equal amount of cards
down by each chart.
- Each circle (team) sits in a
circle with the food group chart in the middle.
- At the start one Brownie from
each circle (team) takes a card and hops on one foot
around the edge of the circle to where she began and then
places card between knees and walks backwards (or any
other action you decide on ) around edge of circle to her
spot. While she is doing this she can be thinking of what
food group her card belongs in.
- When she gets back to her
place in the circle she places the card in the correct
food group section on the chart. If she isn’t sure
where it goes she can ask one of the other Brownies where
it goes. If she places it in the wrong food group the
others in her group can nicely correct her.
- Then, the next Brownie from
the circle takes a card and does the same, and so on
until all cards have been placed.
- When all the cards have been
placed the Brownies stand up and shout "BROWNIES EAT
HEALTHY!" and then sit down again and wait for the
other circles to continue until they are finished. After
that the Owls go through the cards on each game board
with the Brownies to see if they think they are in the
right food group pockets.
ENJOY!
