Play ‘Red, Amber, Green’. Allocate a red, amber and green area in the classroom (or outside). Tell children that you have packaging from a selection of pre-packed foods that use the traffic light system. They are going to think about whether the fat/saturate/sugar/salt content of each of the foods is high, medium or low and then go to the area with the corresponding colour. Tell them you are not going to show them the labels until after they have gone to what they think is the correct area. For example, tell them you have the label from a packet of breakfast cereal. Do they think the sugar ‘light’ will be red, amber or green? Repeat as many times as you wish, allowing time for discussion and reaction when you show the label for each food. If you don’t have enough room inside for children to move around, consider giving them a piece of red, amber and green paper or card to hold up or come up with a gesture for each colour.

Use complementary pupil sheet if required.
