ACTIVE FOOD GROUP GAME

(the week before have girls cut out pictures of different foods and paste them on construction paper)

1. Place a chart that has a section for the four food groups, plus one for junk food, on floor in front of each circle (team).
2. Place an equal amount of cards down by each chart.
3. Each circle (team) sits in a circle with the food group chart in the middle.
4. At the start one Brownie from each circle (team) takes a card and hops on one foot around the edge of the circle to where she began and then places card between knees and walks backwards (or any other action you decide on ) around edge of circle to her spot. While she is doing this she can be thinking of what food group her card belongs in.
5. When she gets back to her place in the circle she places the card in the correct food group section on the chart. If she isn’t sure where it goes she can ask one of the other Brownies where it goes. If she places it in the wrong food group the others in her group can nicely correct her.
6. Then, the next Brownie from the circle takes a card and does the same, and so on until all cards have been placed.
7. When all the cards have been placed the Brownies stand up and shout "BROWNIES EAT HEALTHY!" and then sit down again and wait for the other circles to continue until they are finished. After that the Owls go through the cards on each game board with the Brownies to see if they think they are in the right food group pockets.

ENJOY!
