**Activity Plans:**
1. Introduction to the food pyramid
 * Compare the new pyramid to the old pyramid
 * Explain what a serving size means
 * How to read a Nutrition label
 * How many of each food group you should have each day

2. Set up two food pyramids on the floor, preferably at the end of a hallway or outside if possible. 3. Rules: Adaptations: If you cannot draw out a pyramid for some reason, use signs on the floor for each section. The goal is for the students to recognize what food items belong in each section.
 * There are two teams
 * There can only be one team member running at a time
 * Each student must pick up one food item, run to the pyramid, and place it in the correct location on the food pyramid
 * That student must then run back to their group and the next student can pick a piece of food after they slack hands with the previous runner.
 * Students continue until there is no food left.
 * Challenge: Have students put the correct servings into their food pyramid for one day
 * Count up the correct number of food items in each pyramid and announce a winning team
