Plan Your Plate Game

Plan Your Plate Game

Have you seen these cute sectioned plates for kids? I am in LOVE with them. I got them from Super Healthy Kids a little while ago and when we opened them my girls began to place food in the correct section. I should mention we had just gotten home from vacation so we were lacking on fresh fruit so my daughter improvised with what she could find.

I got a kick out of it at least.

I discovered that they loved playing with these plates and discovering where foods fit on the plate. So I got some fun printables together and made this game to keep them busy while I cook dinner. They do end up pulling it out a lot more often though.

Start by downloading the printables.

If you don’t have the cute section plates from Super Healthy Kids, I’ve got a printable version for you below.

Then you’ll need some fruit and dairy prints below.

Veggies and Grains

and finally Meat and Nuts

Once you’ve got them downloaded start cutting away! I even recruited my girls to help cut.

Now you’re ready to play.

Pile all the food in the center of the players. They can start building the plate that they want.

My girls were building so fast that it was hard to get pictures without movement.

They will plan their plate and then place all items back in the center and race to do it again.

I love that they get to learn as they are playing. And I can be close by but don’t have to supervise too closely! Win-Win!
