○ Orange=Grains ○ Red=Fruit ○ Green=Vegetables ○ Blue=Dairy ● Call out a color (or food group) and one student in each group will roll the die. They will look at the chart and line up the color with the number that was rolled. Based on that, each group will do that exercise. ● Once the groups finish up their exercise, call out another color and the next student will roll the die, doing the exercise as a small group again. ● Repeat this process until everyone has had a chance to roll the die at least one time. Review the exercises on the chart ● Model what they look like and have students practice a few reps ● Make sure to include all of the colors (food groups) Modification: ● Call out “Dance party!” and have the students dance for a quick break between exercises.

Color Tag

Show How How to Play:

● In this game, there will be 2-3 taggers while everyone else is free to move around inside the large boundary. ● On your “Go Word”, taggers will attempt to tag as many students while they move safely around inside the tag area. ● When a student gets tagged, the tagger will call out a color, telling the tagged student where to go. ● The tagged student will go to that color of cone and do jumping jacks, calling out each letter that spells the color. For example, at the “Blue” cone, a student will do four jumping jacks, saying “B-L-U-E” with each jump. ● Taggers will try to send as many students to each of the colors until it’s time to switch. ● Freeze the game to give other students a chance to be taggers.
