Food Group Folder Game
Instructions Food Pyramid Game Ideal number of players per game: 4 to 6 Required: • One die per team • One place marker for each player. Print game board and game cards. Laminate if desired. Cut out cards. Each group should have a dealer, who shuffles the deck and deals five cards face down to each player. The remaining cards are placed in a stack on the table. All players start on "vegetables." Player to the left of dealer rolls the die and moves the number of spaces indicated in a clockwise direction. The player must lay down a card from the food group s/he landed on. If the player has no card from this group, s/he must draw a card from the stack. This card can be played if it belongs to the food group the player needs. Otherwise, the player must keep the card and play moves to the next person. If the stack is exhausted, the player draws a card from the hand of any other player they choose. The first person to run out of cards wins. If time runs out, the one with the fewest cards in their hand wins. Optional bonus: If player rolls a "two", s/he can move via the exercise icon to any food group. Important: The purpose of this game is to have the students see the picture of the food and say the name. The following language should be used. If they land on " fruit", they should say, "I have apples--and lay down the card. Or, they should say, I don't have any fruit. They then draw a card.

Suggestions for Teaching: 1. Read the story aloud with the students, stopping to teach concepts such as how to write an order, explaining the difference between a subtotal and a total, and explaining how to calculate sales tax and convert from one form of currency to another. (Mr. Dragone is pronounced Drag-own.) 2. Make an overhead of the guest checks on page 8. Demonstrate how to fill one out, calculate the subtotal, add a 15% sales tax and arrive at the total. Do this with both checks on the page as guided practice. Allowing students to use a calculator is suggested, as this is an authentic task. In real-life, a waiter or waitress would probably use a calculator or adding machine when tabulating a guest check. 3. Assign the tasks on page 6. Teacher should circulate and assist. 4. Marsburg City Bank Checks: Teachers can make several copies of this page and allow students to make and design checkbooks, or use as a worksheet. 5. Authentic tasks on pages 10 and 11-12 are follow-up activities that teach how to maintain a checkbook register, for use in another class period. Make an overhead of page 10, and demonstrate how to fill in a checkbook register using hypothetical check amounts. Follow-up by assigning the task on page 10. 6. Read together and discuss the authentic task on pages 11-12. Assign. 7. Creative Design Assignment: Design a “Theme Menu.” Discuss targeting a specific clientele with a restaurant. Clientele can be animals or people. Brainstorm different terms for the restaurant such as café, shoppe, steak house, pit, bistro, etc. Discuss title categories found on menus such as appetizers or starters, entrees or main dishes, desserts, beverages or drinks, side dishes, a la carte, etc. Assign students to create a menu for a “Theme Restaurant.” Students should design an attractive cover, and use the inside (and back side if desired) for menu items. A good follow-up activity is to ask students to write four word problems that could be answered by using their menu.

Money Problems at the Marsburg Burger Bar Mr. Dragone, the third grade teacher at Marsburg Elementary School, was talking to himself. Although he didn’t do this very often, at least not in front of his students, he did it very well. The reason he did it very well was because he had three heads. Mr. Dragone’s third grade students were very busy. Peter was staring out the window, gloomily watching a sand storm blow through the playground. Miranda was pretending to read her science book. What she was really reading was a 3-D comic book hidden inside of her science book. Scottie was busy drilling a hole in his desk with his pencil, and Melissa was busy watching Scottie drill. Scottie’s desk was busy repairing the hole as Scottie drilled it. The rest of the class was busy finishing their multiplication sheets. Everyone always became very busy when Mr. Dragone started talking to himself. The topic of the conversation today was how to sneak out to the Marsburg Burger Bar for a snack before lunch. Mr. Dragone was always hungry. His students figured it was because his three heads were attached to three separate stomachs. They also figured he’d find an excuse. Mr. Dragone’s class were becoming very adept at calculating the probability of certain events. They hadn’t missed a morning snack field trip since he’d been their teacher. The students had great faith in Mr. Dragone’s cleverness. After much whispered discussion with himself, Mr. Dragone announced, “Today, class, we’re going on a short field trip.” Scottie stopped drilling and nudged Peter. “It’s your turn.” He whispered. Scottie’s desk breathed a sigh of relief and finished repairing the hole Scottie had made. Peter said, still staring out the window, “Gee, Mr. Dragone, that’s great! Where are we going?” 2
“We are going to study problem-solving at the Marsburg Burger Bar,” announced Mr. Dragone solemnly. “We did that yesterday,” said Melissa. “Yesterday we studied probability,” said Mr. Dragone. “Today we will be working with money problems.” The class looked interested. “Do we get money?” asked Scottie. “No, you get to solve problems,” said Mr. Dragone. “We’ve got problems,” whispered Melissa, “Mr. Greenly’s on the televid screen and it looks like he’s been listening.” “Not a problem”, stated Scottie confidently, “Look at what I made.” Scottie turned on a hologram he’d just made the night before, of the class looking very, very busy. Mr. Dragone and the class put on their flight suits and flew out the rear dome window very quietly. Mr. Greenly, the principal, looked at Anne Tennuhs, his assistant, and said, “Well, they’re off.” “Daily math lesson?” asked Anne. “Yep,” said Mr. Greenly. “When do you think the students will catch on that you’ve already approved this with Mr. Dragone?” asked Anne. “Never,” stated Mr. Greenly, “Mr. Dragone’s a great actor!” Mr. Dragone and his class flew quickly through the playground and across the street in a proper straight line. One by one they touched down by the front door of the Marsburg Burger Bar. Since it was only 10:00 in the morning, they were the only customers. Adam Subtrakt, the waiter, hurried to bring them menus, as they struggled 3
out of their flight suits, and neatly hung them up on the rack by the door. Adam hurriedly flipped through his “How to Help Teach Money Problems to Students” waiters’ pocket guide while they were busy looking at the menus. You see, Mr. Dragone hadn’t really been talking to himself, he had been discussing how to teach the lesson with Adam via sub-vocalink phone. Adam was studying to be a teacher by taking online courses from ABC Teach U on Earth, and worked at the Burger Bar to help pay for his courses. Mr. Dragone and Adam Subtrakt passed out menus, pencils, and guest checks to each of the students. “Okay kids,” he said, “Today is ‘Write Out and Calculate the Cost of Your Own Order’ Day! After you’re done writing out your order, figure out how much it will cost in Earth dollars AND in Mars bucks!” “But when do we get to eat?” asked Peter suspiciously. All three of Mr. Dragone’s heads grinned, “When your order has been checked by Adam Subtrakt or me and it’s done correctly!” Remember, you also have to calculate the sales tax, which is 15%!” Scottie raised his hand, “But Mr. Dragone,” he whined, “there’s no place to calculate Mars bucks and Earth dollars.” “It’s on the back,” said Mr. Dragone. “Let’s do this one together as an example! First of all, you decide what you want to eat, and you can’t spend over $10.00 before you add in the tax.” “That’s right,” said Adam Subtrakt, brightly, “Who would like to suggest an order that will cost under ten dollars?” Melissa raised her tentacles. “Yes, Melissa?” asked Mr. Dragone. “I want a Jumping Burger, Tarsus Fries and a Phoebus Cola,” she said. 4
Mr. Dragone typed the order on his laptop and the following information appeared on the trivid screen in front of the room:
Menu Item
Cost in Mars Bucks
Jumping Burger
$5 .25
Tarsus Fries
$2 .15
Phoebus Cola
$2 .50
Cost in Earth Dollars
Subtotal Tax Total “Who knows what the next step is?” asked Mr. Dragone. Miranda raised her hands. “Next,” she said, “You add up the cost of the items you want to order.” “Perfect, Miranda,” said Mr. Dragone. “Okay,” he said, “What’s next?” “Something about tax!” Scottie exclaimed. “Right-O,” said Mr. Dragone, “And here’s how you do that. Watch closely everyone!” Mr. Dragone typed $5.25 X .15 = .7875 “There are only 2 places after the decimal point when we are working with money, because the most change you can have under a dollar is $.99. 5
Therefore, we round .7875 to .79 and we discover that the tax on $5.25 is $.79. Anybody know what we do next?” The entire class was getting hungrier by the moment, so everyone called out at the same time, “We know, we know, you add the tax to the subtotal of your order. This gives you the total cost!” “Very good,” said Mr. Dragone, “But there’s one more step. Now you have to convert your Mars bucks to Earth dollars. This is the easy part. Since one Mars buck equals one dollar and seventy-five cents in Earth dollars, you simply multiply your Mars bucks by 1.75 – like this!” Mr. Dragone typed: $6.04 X $1.75 = $10.57. “Got it?” he asked. “Yes,” shouted the class, “Can we do it now? We’re starving!” “Go for it!” said Mr. Dragone. Now it’s your turn! Directions: 1. Write out two different orders on the guest checks that could be ordered from the Marsburg Burger Bar. One order should be for the most expensive order you could make ordering only four items. Another order should be for the least expensive order you could have if you ordered four items. (You must include either a burger or dinner, a dessert, a drink, and a side dish with both orders). 2. Remember, you must fill out the front and back of each guest check correctly. This means you must calculate the 15% sales tax on your subtotal, and convert your final total from Mars bucks to Earth dollars! (If you need help with the numbers, ask your teacher if you can use a calculator.)

MIND YOUR MANNERS Eating in Restaurants Eating in restaurants is like eating at home or at someone’s house: you should use good table manners. Here are some special restaurant rules: •
•
•
A restaurant is a public place: keep your voice quiet. You will have to sit at the table while the food is prepared. Use the time to make conversation or (with your host’s permission) bring something to entertain yourself while you wait. You don’t need to thank the cook (as you would at home) but you should thank your host.

SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Excuse yourself and go to the restroom for anything that wouldn’t be appropriate at the table. There is only one body function that is acceptable at most dinner tables: eating. If you need to do anything other than eat, excuse yourself from the table. This includes: o extended periods of sneezing o nose-blowing o teeth-picking o burping o crying o yawning o etc. REMEMBER: Different cultures and different families have different rules, and you should follow the “house rules” where you are. ©2009 abcteach.com
SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Only make positive comments about the food. Praise at least one thing at every meal.
o If you are allergic to something, it is polite to alert your host before the food is served. o Allergies, restricted diets, and medical concerns are the only reasons to refuse food. o Unless the “house rules” are different, it is polite to clear your plate, or at least to try everything you are served. o If you don’t like one dish, eat as much as you can of that and more of another. o If you don’t like one thing, praise something else. If you don’t like any of the food, say the table setting is attractive.

SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Follow your host. Rules vary from country to country and from house to house. When you are in someone’s house, you should follow their rules. The host should start the meal (by picking up their fork, usually). This is a signal for you to start your meal in the same way. You don’t have to do things that you think are wrong, but when in doubt, it is always correct to follow your host. o At your house, your host is your parent. o When visiting others with your parents, your host is your parent. o At your friend’s house, your host is your friend. o In a restaurant, your host is the person who invited you. ©2009 abcteach.com
SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Use the right utensils to eat your food. o Use a dessert spoon to eat ice cream. o Use a large spoon to eat soup. o Use a sharp knife to cut your food. o Use a butter knife to butter your bread. o Use a tiny fork to eat oysters. o Use a wide-tined fork to eat salad. o Use a dessert fork for cake. o Use a fork to eat your other food. o Use your fingers to eat artichokes, sandwiches, hamburgers, french fries... REMEMBER: The utensils your host gives you are the ones you are meant to use. ©2009 abcteach.com
SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Use the right utensils to eat your food. Take reasonably sized bites. Eat slowly. Keep your mouth closed when there is food in it. Say thank you when served something. Wait until everyone is served before eating. Only make positive comments about the food. Praise at least one thing at every meal. Keep your elbows close to your sides at all times. Ask for any item that is not beside your plate to be passed to you. When eating bread or rolls, break off and butter small pieces, one at a time. Use a napkin to dab your mouth. Excuse yourself and go to the restroom for anything that wouldn’t be appropriate at the table. Ask to be excused when you leave the table. Follow the host.

Food Group Folder Game
Instructions Food Pyramid Game Ideal number of players per game: 4 to 6 Required: • One die per team • One place marker for each player. Print game board and game cards. Laminate if desired. Cut out cards. Each group should have a dealer, who shuffles the deck and deals five cards face down to each player. The remaining cards are placed in a stack on the table. All players start on "vegetables." Player to the left of dealer rolls the die and moves the number of spaces indicated in a clockwise direction. The player must lay down a card from the food group s/he landed on. If the player has no card from this group, s/he must draw a card from the stack. This card can be played if it belongs to the food group the player needs. Otherwise, the player must keep the card and play moves to the next person. If the stack is exhausted, the player draws a card from the hand of any other player they choose. The first person to run out of cards wins. If time runs out, the one with the fewest cards in their hand wins. Optional bonus: If player rolls a "two", s/he can move via the exercise icon to any food group. Important: The purpose of this game is to have the students see the picture of the food and say the name. The following language should be used. If they land on " fruit", they should say, "I have apples--and lay down the card. Or, they should say, I don't have any fruit. They then draw a card.

Suggestions for Teaching: 1. Read the story aloud with the students, stopping to teach concepts such as how to write an order, explaining the difference between a subtotal and a total, and explaining how to calculate sales tax and convert from one form of currency to another. (Mr. Dragone is pronounced Drag-own.) 2. Make an overhead of the guest checks on page 8. Demonstrate how to fill one out, calculate the subtotal, add a 15% sales tax and arrive at the total. Do this with both checks on the page as guided practice. Allowing students to use a calculator is suggested, as this is an authentic task. In real-life, a waiter or waitress would probably use a calculator or adding machine when tabulating a guest check. 3. Assign the tasks on page 6. Teacher should circulate and assist. 4. Marsburg City Bank Checks: Teachers can make several copies of this page and allow students to make and design checkbooks, or use as a worksheet. 5. Authentic tasks on pages 10 and 11-12 are follow-up activities that teach how to maintain a checkbook register, for use in another class period. Make an overhead of page 10, and demonstrate how to fill in a checkbook register using hypothetical check amounts. Follow-up by assigning the task on page 10. 6. Read together and discuss the authentic task on pages 11-12. Assign. 7. Creative Design Assignment: Design a “Theme Menu.” Discuss targeting a specific clientele with a restaurant. Clientele can be animals or people. Brainstorm different terms for the restaurant such as café, shoppe, steak house, pit, bistro, etc. Discuss title categories found on menus such as appetizers or starters, entrees or main dishes, desserts, beverages or drinks, side dishes, a la carte, etc. Assign students to create a menu for a “Theme Restaurant.” Students should design an attractive cover, and use the inside (and back side if desired) for menu items. A good follow-up activity is to ask students to write four word problems that could be answered by using their menu.

Money Problems at the Marsburg Burger Bar Mr. Dragone, the third grade teacher at Marsburg Elementary School, was talking to himself. Although he didn’t do this very often, at least not in front of his students, he did it very well. The reason he did it very well was because he had three heads. Mr. Dragone’s third grade students were very busy. Peter was staring out the window, gloomily watching a sand storm blow through the playground. Miranda was pretending to read her science book. What she was really reading was a 3-D comic book hidden inside of her science book. Scottie was busy drilling a hole in his desk with his pencil, and Melissa was busy watching Scottie drill. Scottie’s desk was busy repairing the hole as Scottie drilled it. The rest of the class was busy finishing their multiplication sheets. Everyone always became very busy when Mr. Dragone started talking to himself. The topic of the conversation today was how to sneak out to the Marsburg Burger Bar for a snack before lunch. Mr. Dragone was always hungry. His students figured it was because his three heads were attached to three separate stomachs. They also figured he’d find an excuse. Mr. Dragone’s class were becoming very adept at calculating the probability of certain events. They hadn’t missed a morning snack field trip since he’d been their teacher. The students had great faith in Mr. Dragone’s cleverness. After much whispered discussion with himself, Mr. Dragone announced, “Today, class, we’re going on a short field trip.” Scottie stopped drilling and nudged Peter. “It’s your turn.” He whispered. Scottie’s desk breathed a sigh of relief and finished repairing the hole Scottie had made. Peter said, still staring out the window, “Gee, Mr. Dragone, that’s great! Where are we going?” 2
“We are going to study problem-solving at the Marsburg Burger Bar,” announced Mr. Dragone solemnly. “We did that yesterday,” said Melissa. “Yesterday we studied probability,” said Mr. Dragone. “Today we will be working with money problems.” The class looked interested. “Do we get money?” asked Scottie. “No, you get to solve problems,” said Mr. Dragone. “We’ve got problems,” whispered Melissa, “Mr. Greenly’s on the televid screen and it looks like he’s been listening.” “Not a problem”, stated Scottie confidently, “Look at what I made.” Scottie turned on a hologram he’d just made the night before, of the class looking very, very busy. Mr. Dragone and the class put on their flight suits and flew out the rear dome window very quietly. Mr. Greenly, the principal, looked at Anne Tennuhs, his assistant, and said, “Well, they’re off.” “Daily math lesson?” asked Anne. “Yep,” said Mr. Greenly. “When do you think the students will catch on that you’ve already approved this with Mr. Dragone?” asked Anne. “Never,” stated Mr. Greenly, “Mr. Dragone’s a great actor!” Mr. Dragone and his class flew quickly through the playground and across the street in a proper straight line. One by one they touched down by the front door of the Marsburg Burger Bar. Since it was only 10:00 in the morning, they were the only customers. Adam Subtrakt, the waiter, hurried to bring them menus, as they struggled 3
out of their flight suits, and neatly hung them up on the rack by the door. Adam hurriedly flipped through his “How to Help Teach Money Problems to Students” waiters’ pocket guide while they were busy looking at the menus. You see, Mr. Dragone hadn’t really been talking to himself, he had been discussing how to teach the lesson with Adam via sub-vocalink phone. Adam was studying to be a teacher by taking online courses from ABC Teach U on Earth, and worked at the Burger Bar to help pay for his courses. Mr. Dragone and Adam Subtrakt passed out menus, pencils, and guest checks to each of the students. “Okay kids,” he said, “Today is ‘Write Out and Calculate the Cost of Your Own Order’ Day! After you’re done writing out your order, figure out how much it will cost in Earth dollars AND in Mars bucks!” “But when do we get to eat?” asked Peter suspiciously. All three of Mr. Dragone’s heads grinned, “When your order has been checked by Adam Subtrakt or me and it’s done correctly!” Remember, you also have to calculate the sales tax, which is 15%!” Scottie raised his hand, “But Mr. Dragone,” he whined, “there’s no place to calculate Mars bucks and Earth dollars.” “It’s on the back,” said Mr. Dragone. “Let’s do this one together as an example! First of all, you decide what you want to eat, and you can’t spend over $10.00 before you add in the tax.” “That’s right,” said Adam Subtrakt, brightly, “Who would like to suggest an order that will cost under ten dollars?” Melissa raised her tentacles. “Yes, Melissa?” asked Mr. Dragone. “I want a Jumping Burger, Tarsus Fries and a Phoebus Cola,” she said. 4
Mr. Dragone typed the order on his laptop and the following information appeared on the trivid screen in front of the room:
Menu Item
Cost in Mars Bucks
Jumping Burger
$5 .25
Tarsus Fries
$2 .15
Phoebus Cola
$2 .50
Cost in Earth Dollars
Subtotal Tax Total “Who knows what the next step is?” asked Mr. Dragone. Miranda raised her hands. “Next,” she said, “You add up the cost of the items you want to order.” “Perfect, Miranda,” said Mr. Dragone. “Okay,” he said, “What’s next?” “Something about tax!” Scottie exclaimed. “Right-O,” said Mr. Dragone, “And here’s how you do that. Watch closely everyone!” Mr. Dragone typed $5.25 X .15 = .7875 “There are only 2 places after the decimal point when we are working with money, because the most change you can have under a dollar is $.99. 5
Therefore, we round .7875 to .79 and we discover that the tax on $5.25 is $.79. Anybody know what we do next?” The entire class was getting hungrier by the moment, so everyone called out at the same time, “We know, we know, you add the tax to the subtotal of your order. This gives you the total cost!” “Very good,” said Mr. Dragone, “But there’s one more step. Now you have to convert your Mars bucks to Earth dollars. This is the easy part. Since one Mars buck equals one dollar and seventy-five cents in Earth dollars, you simply multiply your Mars bucks by 1.75 – like this!” Mr. Dragone typed: $6.04 X $1.75 = $10.57. “Got it?” he asked. “Yes,” shouted the class, “Can we do it now? We’re starving!” “Go for it!” said Mr. Dragone. Now it’s your turn! Directions: 1. Write out two different orders on the guest checks that could be ordered from the Marsburg Burger Bar. One order should be for the most expensive order you could make ordering only four items. Another order should be for the least expensive order you could have if you ordered four items. (You must include either a burger or dinner, a dessert, a drink, and a side dish with both orders). 2. Remember, you must fill out the front and back of each guest check correctly. This means you must calculate the 15% sales tax on your subtotal, and convert your final total from Mars bucks to Earth dollars! (If you need help with the numbers, ask your teacher if you can use a calculator.)

MIND YOUR MANNERS Eating in Restaurants Eating in restaurants is like eating at home or at someone’s house: you should use good table manners. Here are some special restaurant rules: •
•
•
A restaurant is a public place: keep your voice quiet. You will have to sit at the table while the food is prepared. Use the time to make conversation or (with your host’s permission) bring something to entertain yourself while you wait. You don’t need to thank the cook (as you would at home) but you should thank your host.

SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Excuse yourself and go to the restroom for anything that wouldn’t be appropriate at the table. There is only one body function that is acceptable at most dinner tables: eating. If you need to do anything other than eat, excuse yourself from the table. This includes: o extended periods of sneezing o nose-blowing o teeth-picking o burping o crying o yawning o etc. REMEMBER: Different cultures and different families have different rules, and you should follow the “house rules” where you are. ©2009 abcteach.com
SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Only make positive comments about the food. Praise at least one thing at every meal.
o If you are allergic to something, it is polite to alert your host before the food is served. o Allergies, restricted diets, and medical concerns are the only reasons to refuse food. o Unless the “house rules” are different, it is polite to clear your plate, or at least to try everything you are served. o If you don’t like one dish, eat as much as you can of that and more of another. o If you don’t like one thing, praise something else. If you don’t like any of the food, say the table setting is attractive.

SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Follow your host. Rules vary from country to country and from house to house. When you are in someone’s house, you should follow their rules. The host should start the meal (by picking up their fork, usually). This is a signal for you to start your meal in the same way. You don’t have to do things that you think are wrong, but when in doubt, it is always correct to follow your host. o At your house, your host is your parent. o When visiting others with your parents, your host is your parent. o At your friend’s house, your host is your friend. o In a restaurant, your host is the person who invited you. ©2009 abcteach.com
SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
Use the right utensils to eat your food. o Use a dessert spoon to eat ice cream. o Use a large spoon to eat soup. o Use a sharp knife to cut your food. o Use a butter knife to butter your bread. o Use a tiny fork to eat oysters. o Use a wide-tined fork to eat salad. o Use a dessert fork for cake. o Use a fork to eat your other food. o Use your fingers to eat artichokes, sandwiches, hamburgers, french fries... REMEMBER: The utensils your host gives you are the ones you are meant to use. ©2009 abcteach.com
SOME BASIC TABLE MANNERS
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Use the right utensils to eat your food. Take reasonably sized bites. Eat slowly. Keep your mouth closed when there is food in it. Say thank you when served something. Wait until everyone is served before eating. Only make positive comments about the food. Praise at least one thing at every meal. Keep your elbows close to your sides at all times. Ask for any item that is not beside your plate to be passed to you. When eating bread or rolls, break off and butter small pieces, one at a time. Use a napkin to dab your mouth. Excuse yourself and go to the restroom for anything that wouldn’t be appropriate at the table. Ask to be excused when you leave the table. Follow the host.
