Lesson Plan

PreTestTeachingGamesPostTest

TIPS: To illustrate how soda is detrimental to bone health, start a week or two earlier, or have your students start an experiment on this day of class. EXPERIMENT: 1) In a container, cover a chicken bone with soda. 2) Check the bone daily. The bone will become softer and softer because calcium is loss as it is dissolved in the weak acid (soda).

Lesson Plan

1. Give Pre-test (Folders)2. Teach3. Games (pick and choose game(s) that fit your class duration)4. Give Post-test (Folders)

A. Daily Calcium Requirements

Ask: How much calcium do 9-18 year olds need every day? 1,300 mg

1. To build strong bones and teeth for life, you need 1,300 mg of calcium every day.

2. You can get calcium from dairy food, non-dairy food, and supplements.

3. Looking at Handout 1 let’s talk about what your favorite calcium-rich foods are, and which contain the highest amount of calcium.

Tips: Additional information about calcium content in food is available at http://www.nichd.nih.gov/milk/prob/other_foods.cfm and http://www.girlshealth.gov/bones/stayingstrong/calcium_where.html

4. Now let’s look at Poster 1.

Ask: Why is it important to make fat-free or low-fat choices from the milk group? Because when calories increase, calcium content decreases.

5. Some foods from the milk group, such as cheese and whole milk, are high in saturated fats and cholesterol which can cause health problems.

6. A diet high in saturated fats increases LDL (low-density lipoprotein), commonly called the “bad cholesterol”, high LDL increases the risk for heart disease.

7. Keeping blood cholesterol at a healthy level is very important. This can occur by limiting the amount of certain foods you eat.

o Choose low-fat or fat free dairy foods. . o By choosing low-fat or fat-free milk, you also automatically

reduce the fat in your diet.

B. Adding Calcium-Rich Foods to Your Diet1. With busy schedules, many people skip meals. This can be avoided

with just a little planning. 2. Some different ways to get calcium ‘on-the-go’ include:

o Keep portable, calcium-rich foods in hand. For examples, GoGurt® (or a drinkable yogurt) string cheese, pudding, a handful of almonds, or a calcium-fortified cereal bar.

o Asian snacks such as, nori (roasted sea weed), sesame seeds candy, milk candy, dehydrated mini string cheese (stronger flavor), calcium-fortified drinks and crackers are delicious to try out.

o At gas stations and convenience stores, you can still find calcium-rich foods such as milk, cheese crackers, and calcium-fortified orange juice.

o Sardines are a great source and can be made into a sandwich.

3. When you are less busy, you can add blended spinach to make lasagna, spaghetti sauce, or tortilla. Try making a fun salad with calcium-rich vegetables like spinach, and fresh or cooked broccoli.

4. If you enjoy Native American foods, add juniper ash to the recipes.

C. What If You Do Not Like The Taste of Milk? It is okay if you don’t like the taste of milk. There are lots of other

ways to get calcium into your diet. o Enjoy flavored milk, such as chocolate, vanilla, or

strawberry. It has the same amount of calcium as plain milk. There are even flavored straws to change the flavor of plain milk spontaneously!

o Make fruit-flavored pudding or blend fresh fruits with milk. o Drink yogurt smoothies, calcium-fortified soy drinks or

calcium-fortified orange juice for breakfast or snack.o Try fruit bars and fig bars with milk. They taste great

together!

Players: 2 or more.

Materials: Discovery Chain – Calcium Chain cards

Duration: 5-10 minutes.

Goal: Create a chain of food that adds up to 1,000 mg of calcium. The first player who gets rid of all his or her cards wins.

How to Play1. All players sit in a circle. If played in teams, no players from the same team should sit

next to each other.2. One player shuffles the deck and deals out a hand of 7 cards to each player.3. Players hold their 7 cards in hands and do not reveal their cards to any player. The

remaining deck is placed face down in the center of the play area to become the draw pile. Next to it, place a pile of Vitamin D cards.

4. To start the chain, the first player lays down a card, followed by the next player in line. 5. The chain continues until it gets to 1,000 mg 25 mg. Then, the next player in line must

lay down a Vitamin D card.6. If a player lays down a Vitamin D card too soon or he/her goes over the 25 mg limit,

the penalty is to draw 2 cards from the draw pile.7. A player can lay down a Lactose Intolerance card during his/her turn. This card will cause

subsequent cards in the calcium chain to NOT contain any dairy foods. If a player does not have any suitable cards to play, he/she will draw 1 card from the draw pile and may lay down 1 card after that in the same round.

8. If a player accidentally lays down a dairy food card following a Lactose Intolerance card, then the penalty is to draw 2 cards.

9. When a player lays down a second Lactose Intolerance card placed right after the first Lactose Intolerance card, the next player in line has to draw 4 cards but may then lay down a card.

10. The Lactase card will cancel out the Lactose Intolerance card. After a player lays down a Lactase card, the calcium chain can include dairy foods again.

See card set for 3 more games!


Players: 4-8 players, two players per team.

Materials: Miniature food models (made from eraser), 2-4 Wildcards, 4-8 pairs of chopsticks, plates or bowls, masking tape or a piece of 2’x2’ cloth.


Goal: Be the team who picks up the highest number of calcium-rich foods.

How to Play

1. Lay the 2’x2’ cloth on the floor, or use the masking tape to form a 2’x2’ square.

2. Place miniature food models and all Wildcards on the cloth or in the playing area.

3. Divide players in teams. Arrange players to sit in alternate teams around the square. Each player holds a pair of chopstick and a plate or bowl. Those who do not know how to use the chopsticks are allowed to use both hands to hold the chopsticks.

4. Each team competes to pick up as many calcium-rich foods as possible. Encourage your students to use their ‘wildest imagination’ to find foods high in calcium.

5. At the end, each player counts the number of food items in their own plate or bowl. Each explains why he or she considers the food rich in calcium.

6. Anyone who picks up a Wildcard needs to name a calcium-rich food that is different from all items in his or her bowl. If the answer is correct, the Wildcard is counted as an additional food item.

7. The team with the highest number of calcium-rich foods wins.


Players: 2 teams of 5 or more players.

Materials: Keywords, 4.25” x 5.5” laminated alphabet cards and ‘blank’ cards.


Goal: Be the first team to spell a keyword correctly.

… Moving around …How to Play

1. Spread all alphabet cards on the floor.

2. Each team selects a leader. All players stand around the alphabet cards.

3. The judge hands over two keywords with the same number of letters to each team leader. Both teams will begin together and compete to form a chain of the alphabets that spell out the keyword.

4. The fastest team that completes the spelling correctly wins.

Keyword Examples

Dairy food Ethnic Foods Calcium-Rich Food Nutrition Facts


Need a little weight-bearing? ...

Players: 2 players or more. Materials: Keyword cards, keyword bag, bean bags.


Goal: Be the first one to spell a keyword correctly without dropping any bean bags.

How to Play

1. Place one bean bag on the back of each speller’s hands. Each player will spell with their arms straight.

2. The judge will announce a keyword drawn from the ‘keyword bag’.

3. All spellers will stand in one line facing the judge. The size of each letter spelt with hand movements must not be smaller than a letter-sized paper.

4. Starting together, every speller will act out each alphabet of the keyword in right order without dropping any bean bags.

5. If any bean bag falls before a word is completely spelled out, the speller has to start over.

6. The fastest speller who spells out the whole word without dropping any bean bags wins.

TIPS: To make the game more advanced, double the number of bean bags in Round 2.
