Good+Basket,+Bad+Basket


 * **Name of Activity:** **Good Basket, Bad Basket** ||

**Purpose of Activity:** The purpose of this activity is to teach the students about proper nutrition while incorporating a Springtime theme. **Suggested Grade Level:** 3-5 **Materials Needed:** 2 Baskets and Eggs with food names on them.

**__Description of Idea__** Each student is given an egg or two with a food labeled on the egg. When it is the students turn the student will come up and either put their food in the "Good" basket or the "Bad" basket. The "Good" basket is for healthy foods and the "Bad" basket is for choices that are not as healthy. After the student has made a decision regarding which basket to put the egg in, the rest of the class will vote to see if they agree with the decision and explain why if they agreed, or why not, if they disagreed.

**Assessment Ideas:** This activity would best be served as a review for a nutrition test. The activity can give you a good idea on what the students know, and if you might need to spend additional time on the lesson. If students put an egg in the "bad basket," have them explain why it is not a good choice and have them substitute with a "healthy" option.
