Food Groups Healthy vs Sweet Sort Worksheet for 1st Grade
The Food Groups Worksheet: Healthy vs Sweet Sorting practices sorting food pictures into food groups by choosing Healthy Food or Sweet Treats. Each round connects snack images to nutrition categories for a clear, kid-friendly skill.

Use the Food Groups Worksheet by setting out a “Healthy Food” side and a “Sweet Treats” side on the table. Ask your child to pick one food picture, say the food name out loud, and place the picture under the right column, then repeat with the next food.
This specific Food Groups Worksheet is built as a two-column Healthy Food vs Sweet Treats sort with exactly 8 foods total. The simple picture-to-category matching makes the nutrition for kids skill easy to practice and repeat without long explanations.
