Healthy+Food+Tag


 * **Name of Activity:** **Healthy Food Tag** ||

**Prerequisites:** Students must be able to move safely in their own space and tag gently. We also have discussed in class the differnce between healthy foods and taste good foods. **Suggested Grade Level:** K-2 **Materials Needed:** Boundary cones and something to identify the taggers. **__Description of Idea__** Choose 2-3 students to be taggers and have the rest of the class spread out in the clearly marked general space. When a student gets tagged by a tagger they freeze. Another free student must come over to them and ask them, "What is your favorite healthy food"? The frozen student must answer with a healthy food to become unfrozen. The helper decides if it is a healthy food or not. They may come to me if they are not sure. Once they answer with a healthy food they are free to participate in the tagging again. The taggers can not tag someone if they are helping a frozen student.

**Teaching Suggestions:** As in any tag game situation it is best to start off by walking as opposed to running. Students will usually tell me if someone isn't answering with a healthy food and I can talk to that individual. I do question and answer during our discussion to make sure they know they difference.
