Title of Bulletin Board: How many calories are in your treat? (Halloween)

Category: Holiday-Halloween

Suggested Grade Level: 4-12

Materials: paper, candy wrappers, caution tape, plastic skeleton, cutouts

Description:

My class was learning about nutrition and it is getting around the time of Halloween. This bulletin board had the words 'How many calories in your treat' on it. Then there were candy wrappers glued to Halloween colored paper and the item was listed, the size of the candy, and how many calories were in this candy at this size. This was made to see, that although there are not many calories in a fun sized candy bar, when the consumer starts eating multiple fun sized candy bars, the calories can really add up.

this is the worst possible idea anyone could ever have. Not only promoting that calories are bad, but also accelerating the rate that CHILDREN develop eating disorders. children that should have no negative view towards food. but they will after seeing this.
