Healthy or Unhealthy Food – Sorting Worksheet

Identify a pictured food item and write its name.

Classify a food as healthy or unhealthy.

Review vocabulary for the specific foods pictured before assigning the worksheet independently, since students must write each food's name from the picture alone.

Use the worksheet as a quick pre- or post-assessment for a nutrition or healthy-eating unit, given its name/date header and single-page length.

Discuss portion, preparation and eating patterns when students explain a classification; the worksheet’s two labels alone do not capture those differences.

Food identification — students name the specific food shown in each picture.

Healthy/unhealthy classification — students apply a health judgment to each identified food.
