    • high in energy, low in nutrition
    • steamed fish

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Sort nutritious foods from high-energy low-value ones, habits that build or harm health, situations needing help at once from ones children can handle, and real safety gear from look-alikes that protect nothing.

What's in the worksheet

4 sorting rounds, 2 baskets each - Nutritious or high-energy, low-value: steamed fish, crisps, blanched vegetables, fizzy drinks - Builds or harms health: regular exercise, late nights, vegetables at every meal, fried food daily - Get help now or handle it yourself: a friend unconscious, a small graze, someone drowning, feeling hungry - Safety gear or not: crash helmet, fashion hat, seat belt, leather belt

How to use it in class

A quick warm-up for Grade 3 health, about 4 minutes. - Play in teams against the clock, since the cards are short and clear - In round 4, point out the look-alike pairs, helmet and hat, seat belt and belt, and ask what makes them different - In round 3, stress that if someone is drowning, children shout for an adult and throw something that floats, never jump in to help - Extend round 1 by asking for canteen snacks that are high-energy but low-value - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Round 1: 'high-energy, low-value' is a complex idea for Grade 3; some think high energy is good and drag snacks to the wrong basket; explain it gives fuel but not the nutrients the body needs - Round 4: fashion hat versus helmet and leather belt versus seat belt are deliberately alike; fast readers drag by the word hat or belt - Round 3: some children think a small graze must always be reported, which is not wrong; accept it and say they can clean it themselves once taught
