My Plate

Design a healthy plate using the five food groups.

Imagine you are cooking your own healthy meal. Which foods would you put on your plate? In this activity, kids will learn about the five main food groups and the importance of a balanced diet.

Tucson Village Farm (TVF) is an urban farm built by and for the youth of Pima County Arizona. It was developed in partnership with the Pima County Cooperative Extension and the University of Arizona. A great way to start this activity is to learn about the different food groups by watching the TVF My Plate Video.
