ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Word ‘Eat’ | Sight Words | Learn to Read with Khan Academy Kids
The word “eat” is spelled as E-A-T. It’s a simple word that describes an important action we do every day. When you eat, you do three main things: you bite, chew, and swallow food. These steps help your body get the energy and nutrients it needs to stay healthy and strong.
Eating is essential because it gives us the strength to do all the things we love, like playing, learning, and growing. For example, when you eat cereal for breakfast, it provides you with the energy to start your day feeling strong and ready to go!
Remember, eating a variety of foods helps keep your body in good shape. So, enjoy your meals and make sure to eat foods that are good for you!
Food Rainbow: Create a food rainbow using colored paper or crayons. Draw or cut out different foods that match each color of the rainbow. For example, red for apples, orange for carrots, yellow for bananas, green for broccoli, blue for blueberries, and purple for grapes. Discuss with an adult why it’s important to eat a variety of colorful foods and how each color can help your body in different ways.
Chew and Count: The next time you have a meal, try counting how many times you chew each bite before swallowing. This can help you understand the process of eating better. Share your findings with a friend or family member and talk about why chewing is an important step in eating.
Energy Detective: Keep a journal for a week and write down what you eat for each meal. Next to each meal, draw a picture of an activity you did afterward, like playing soccer or reading a book. At the end of the week, look back and see how different foods helped give you energy for different activities. Discuss with a parent or teacher how eating well can help you feel strong and energetic.
