Healthy vs. Unhealthy Eating Habits Worksheet for Kids

How to use this worksheet

Look at the food items on the right side of the page together and name each one, talking about whether it's generally a healthy or unhealthy choice. Have your child draw a line from each food item to the healthy or unhealthy person on the left that it matches. Work through the foods one at a time, discussing your reasoning together rather than rushing to match every item at once, and review the completed lines when finished.
