Diet diary

In this activity children keep a food and drink diary for a few days, also recording when they brush their teeth. They then identify food that they think and healthy and unhealthy and those that contain sugar that could cause tooth decay. They look at food diaries of fictional characters and identify which are looking after their teeth well and how those that are not may improve their dental health.

A further activity and pictures of different kinds of food is provided for class discussion.
