Food Model Go Fish

Grade Level: Primary and Upper Elementary
Rating: Not Yet Rated

Activity Synopsis
Students practice categorizing foods into food groups with the familiar game of 'Go Fish' that uses food models as cards.

Activity Outcome
Students will be able to:

• Categorize foods into the Five Food Groups

Materials and Advance Prep

• Assorted Food Models (for primary students only use Five Food Group foods, not 'Others' or Combination Foods)
• Optional: Mount each food model on same-size cards

What You Do
1. Deal 7 Food Models to each student.

2. Place the remaining deck of models upside down in the center of the table. If participants have 2 foods from a food group or category, they can put them down as a pair.

3. In turn, each participant asks the player to the right for all of the foods they have from a specific food group. For example, player A might say to player B, 'Give me all of your Milk Group foods.' If player B has a food from the Milk Group, player B must turn it over. If not, player A is told to 'Go Fish' and draws a card from the deck of Food Models.

4. Play continues until a player has no more Food Models. The player with the most food models wins.
