Classes will enter the gym and teacher spreads students out behind different cones. Across from each cone is the same colored hoop with index cards in it. The index cards have words on them which will eventually form a sentence. In relay race style, 1 student at a time runs to their hoop, picks up an index card from inside, brings it back to their team and places it inside their teams envelope. (envelopes waiting under cone)Teams will keep going until no cards are left in hoop. Once all cards are in envelope, student must work together, place cards on the floor and form a sentence which will correlate to MY Food Plate. There will be an exercise on one index card. Place the exercise card at the end of the sentence and perform exercise while waiting for other groups to be finished. When all teams are finished, teacher will roll dice and whatever number it lands on, that team will read their sentence out loud as a group to the class.
