Grades K–12 (Poster)
Make nutrition come to life in your classroom! This large 30" × 26" MyPlate Activity Poster is a colorful, interactive way to teach students about food groups and balanced eating. MyPlate is the USDA’s visual nutrition guide, showing the five food groups on a place setting to represent their relative proportions in a healthy diet.
Use this poster to engage students in sorting activities, discussions, and games that teach healthy eating habits. It’s a simple, visual approach to nutrition that helps students connect what they learn to their own daily meals.
