To
tie into the lesson, you might explain that it is important that we are knowledge about
the things we put into our bodies and sometimes it pays to read the ingredients °Ü°

We did a version of this as a combined activity last year. It was a lot of work for us but
the kids really liked it. Those of us in the kitchen were really hopping. We brought in
two long tables to set the food on in order. Our girls were the waitresses. When they
brought an order to us we had to fill each plate. Everybody's was different, of course. We
found that by pairing off the kitchen help, things ran smoothly. One of us filled the
plate as the other read off the menu selection. The girls would just stand by the reader
and wait for her plate to be completed.
Here is our menu.
1. Spud infants (tater tots)
2. Lift (fork)
3. Foreign Flag (mayo, mustard, ketchup)
4. Hare Habits (Celery stick, carrot stick, cherry tomatoes)
5. Mack (knife)
6. Cylinder (hot dog)
7. Dew (ranch dressing)
8. Texas Snow (water)
9. Crude oil (Chocolate sauce)
10. Circus Critters (animal crackers)
11. Jacket (bun)
12. Santiago Special (chili)
13. Kneeslapper (spoon)
14. Orange Flakes (cheese)
15. Alaskan Cow Milk (ice cream)
16. Savor Flavors (onion , relish)
17. ear Products (corn)
18. Slime (lemon - lime drink)
19. Scabs (chips)
20. Feline supper (catsup)
The diners filled out the following using the menu above (minus the words in ( ).
First Course ----- ----- ----- -----
Second Course ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
third course ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
fourth course ---- ----- ----- -----
If the kids could figure out what the menu items were, they could have everything in order
with the correct utensils.
Have fun.

My ward did this a long time ago when I was in YW. It was lots of fun. One thing I
remember is that they had set the table with all sorts of "plates" and had
covered them with tablecloths so we couldn't tell what we were getting. People were eating
out of baking pot, pans and lids, pots (for plants), someone had a shovel (without the
handle), and someone else got a paper plate sitting inside a toilet seat (it was a new
one). This is a great activity to take photos of!
Another idea, although not very clean, is to cover a table completely with saran wrap,
then dump spaghetti noodles and sauce in the middle of the table and everyone just takes a
portion of the "mound" and eats right off the table. I did this on a date once,
and it was fun. I don't know how well it would work with YM/YW. Just an idea.

The idea I had was a food guide pyramid, shrunk down of course.
Also, check out the American Dietetic Association's website, they have fun little bits of
info, like a "Rate your Plate" quiz and portion size info(this was on the webMD
site, there is a link on the ADA site). Good luck!
