Blank MyPlate Worksheet — Fill In the Plate

Free printable blank MyPlate worksheet: label the five food-group sections on an empty plate, then write or draw a food in each. Name and date lines, answer key — free to copy.

1. Labels first, foods second

Have students place all five group names before adding any foods — the layout itself teaches the proportions, and a mislabeled section shows up immediately when the foods don't fit.

2. Drawing counts

Younger students can draw a food in each section instead of writing it; the learning is in choosing the section, not the spelling.

3. Ask the proportion question

Why are the vegetable and grain sections bigger? That one question turns the worksheet into the whole MyPlate message: fill half the plate with fruits and vegetables, and make the bigger half vegetables.

4. Extend it with a real meal

As a follow-up, students redraw last night's dinner onto a second blank plate and compare. The gap between the two plates is the discussion.
