“Pack” a healthy lunch box, using the list of items in the table on pages 2 and 3. Arrange them according to your order of preference in the Yes and No columns.

1. Each group member brings one item for a healthy lunch box and gives a reason for his/her choice.
2. Have a healthy picnic during one lunch break.
3. Make a mega-sandwich. The winner is the person who has the tastiest AND the healthiest sandwich.

Make a drawing of a healthy food parcel in the space provided.
Draw a plate filled with the following nourishing foodstuffs:1 portion of protein, 1 portion of carbohydrates and 2 portions of vegetables (one green and one orange or red).
Underline the products in the list below that contain carbohydrates and vitamins, and that can be used to make a nourishing soup:
3 grated carrots
1 cup of water
5 pieces of chocolate
a pinch of salt
a teaspoon of instant coffee
1 cup of diced pumpkin
2 potatoes, cooked and mashed
a pinch of black pepper
2 dessertspoons of orange juice
half a teaspoon of chopped parsley
3 cups of sugar
2 pieces of chewing gum
1 teaspoon of curry powder
The soup can be made at school or at home. Boil all the suitable ingredients over a low heat until all the vegetables are tender. Make sure that the right products are used; otherwise you might end up with a horrible brew. Remember to get your mother’s permission before you take any of her supplies!
Shuffle the letters to find out which nutritious vegetables John and Miranda like best:
