Nutrition Sort-It

Quick Answer

A printable picture-sorting activity for preschool and kindergarten lessons on healthy foods. Children name familiar foods, sort their cards, and share their thinking during a whole-class activity.

What’s Inside

• 48 watercolor food and drink cards: 24 for each group

• Six cards per page for easy printing and preparation

• Healthy Foods / Unhealthy Foods headings

• Alternate Everyday Foods / Sometimes Foods headings

• Teacher’s guide with suggested food groupings

• 12-page printable PDF

How to Use

Print and cut apart the food cards and your preferred set of headings. Attach one heading to the top of each of two poster boards.

Sit in a circle with the entire class and give each student one food card. Have students take turns naming their food and placing it on the matching poster board. Talk together about their choices as you build the two groups.

Laminate the cards and headings for repeated use.
