Read Good Enough to Eat: A Kid's Guide to Food and Nutrition by Lizzy Rockwell. This book explains the concept of nutrition. Discuss the new vocabulary such as the nutrient groups – carbohydrates, protein, fat, water, vitamins and minerals – and what the function is of each. During outdoor time, place a hula-hoop with the name of each nutrient in the middle of it. Call out a food name and have the children stand by the hula-hoop where they think it belongs, for example, fish is a protein.
