Keep it Simple
- Instead of creating a rainbow, have youth organize a list of food into categories that correspond with the food guide.
Take it Further
- Now that youth are aware of the different food categories, have them plan a day’s/weeks’ worth of meals using the rainbow they created and the Canada Food Guide. Consider utilizing this activity to plan a meal during a weekend camp.
