Healthy Snacks

This KS1 PSHE quiz is all about healthy snacks. Sometimes we can get hungry between our meals and we might choose to have a snack. You might already have a favourite snack.

It is important that we are choosing healthy snacks as part of a balanced diet as this will help us to grow and be active.

Next time you are feeling hungry between meals and want a snack, ask for something you wouldn’t normally have. If you always choose a biscuit, try a piece of fruit instead. It’s good to add variety to your diet and to try out new tastes and flavours.

Before you ask for a snack, play this quiz to see how much you remember about healthy snacks!

1 .
Which of the following is NOT a snack?
A piece of fruit
Some chopped-up vegetable sticks
A yoghurt

What do you do if you want a snack?
Help yourself
Go to the shop
Wait till your next meal

3 .
Why are healthy snacks good for us?
They keep us quiet

6 .
If you are eating a healthy snack at school and your friend says they are hungry what should you do?
Share yours
Ignore them
Give them someone else’s
Tell a teacher
Although it is nice to share with your friends, you should always tell a grown up if someone is hungry before giving them food as they may not be allowed to eat the same foods as you
7 .
Which of the following is NOT a healthy snack?
Banana
Carrot sticks
Sweets
Kiwi
Sweets are not a healthy snack as they are high in sugar and can rot your teeth. They are also not very filling and you may still feel hungry afterwards. A good choice for a healthy snack is a piece of fruit or some vegetables
8 .
Why should we not choose snacks that are high in sugar?
They might rot our teeth
They are expensive
They taste bad
They are too filling
We should try and avoid eating too many sugary snacks as sugar is not needed by the body and it can rot our teeth. Instead you should choose snacks that are low in artificial sugar
9 .
Which of the following is a healthy snack?
Crisps
Apple
Chocolate bar
Ice cream
An apple is a great choice for a healthy snack as it is a piece of fruit that contains vitamins needed by the body. An apple is also a good size for a snack as it will not be too filling between meals. Crisps, chocolate and ice cream are not healthy snacks as they contain lots of sugars and fats
10 .
When should we eat healthy snacks?
Between our meals if we are hungry
In the middle of the night
Whenever we want

It is okay to have a healthy snack between your meals as long as it is not too close to the next meal as it might stop you from eating your meal if you are full
