Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Read nutrition labels and choose food wisely: check expiry and ingredients before buying, the effects of high sodium, how much fruit and veg to eat, where sugar hides, and what makes a good breakfast.
What's in the worksheet
6 multiple-choice questions, 3 options each - A nutrition label shows energy and nutrients - Before buying ready-made food, check expiry and ingredients (distractor: free gifts and promotions) - High sodium overworks the kidneys and raises blood pressure risk - Fruit and veg should fill at least half the plate at each meal - Sugar hides in boxed juice and sauces; a good breakfast has carbohydrate, protein and fruit or veg
How to use it in class
Use in the nutrition unit; about 6 minutes. - Before playing, give each group a snack packet or milk carton and have them find the nutrition panel and expiry date - For question 4, draw a plate on the board, half fruit and veg, half rice and protein - For question 5, have groups compare the sugar on a boxed juice label with plain milk - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Question 3: tooth decay and fast-rising blood sugar are effects of sugar; children who cannot yet tell sodium from sugar choose wrongly; explain sodium means saltiness - Question 6: sticky rice with a sweet drink is many families' breakfast; frame it positively, add egg or grilled pork and fruit - Question 4: 'one meal a day is enough' is what vegetable-averse children wish were true - Question 1: cooking and storage instructions are also on the label, so children hesitate
