Your
class will be given a creative mission,
but first it
is important that research is conducted
about food and physical activity. This
research
will help develop the content for a game
to share with year 3 / 4 students. In order to complete this task students
need to work as part of a team to gather
important facts about the food pyramid,
physical activity and the importance of

must include:
1. A name
2. Equipment needed
3. Rules of the game
