Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Sort foods to eat often from foods to eat rarely, healthy from unhealthy habits, safe from dangerous objects, and personal items from things that can be shared.

What's in the worksheet

4 sorting rounds, 2 baskets each - Eat often or rarely: vegetables, sweets, fruit, fizzy drinks - Healthy or not: enough sleep, staying up late every night, exercise, watching screens all day - Safe or dangerous: cloth doll, knife, ball, matches - Personal or shared: toothbrush, school desk, towel, blackboard

How to use it in class

A quick, easy game, good as Grade 1's first game; about 4-5 minutes. - Read the basket names and each card aloud; let children shout their answer together before dragging - Split the room into two teams that take turns sending someone up to the screen - Extend round 4 by asking what personal things are in their school bags - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Round 4: children often treat the school desk as their own because they sit there daily, so it goes in personal; explain that personal here means things that touch mouth or body and can pass on germs - Round 3: a child once hit by a ball may drag it to dangerous; hear them out, then note the game means things that cut or burn - Round 2: heavy screen users at home may resist 'screens all day'; keep it positive, rest the eyes and go play
