About this resource
Description
MyPlate is a simple picture that shows children how to fill a healthy plate with fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Knowing which foods belong in each group helps kids make smart choices at every meal. This My Plate Drawing Worksheet helps young learners name the food groups and then plan a balanced meal of their own.
This second grade health and nutrition worksheet begins with a word bank of four food groups. Students read four short sentences about foods such as fish, pasta, milk, and apples, and write the matching food group in each box. Next, children draw a healthy meal on a plate that shows a fruit, a vegetable, a grain, and a protein. The second page is an answer key for the food group sentences, so checking work is quick for teachers and parents. Use the My Plate drawing worksheet for science centers, health lessons, homework, or a fun review before lunch.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet page
- A four-word food group bank, four sentences, and a large box for drawing a healthy meal
- An answer key on page 2
There are three big reasons this page helps kids build healthy habits. First, sorting familiar foods into groups turns a big idea into something children can see and remember. Second, reading short sentences about what each food does for the body, like building strong bones or giving energy to play, connects nutrition to real life. Third, drawing a balanced plate lets children practice planning a meal, which is a skill they can use at home and at school.
Here are a few ideas to stretch the learning. Before the page, show a real plate and ask students to name foods that might go on it. After the page, invite children to share their drawings and point out each food group. Families can use the worksheet to plan a real dinner together, and classes can make a food group chart with pictures cut from grocery ads.
