Free Printable Nutrition Worksheets (PDF) for Educators

When you need an activity for tomorrow’s class and you do not have time to build one, a ready-made worksheet saves the day. This page collects free, printable nutrition worksheets and MyPlate activities you can download and use right away, for kids, teens, and adults alike.

What is in the set

The set covers the lessons you teach most: building a balanced plate, reading a food label, planning simple meals, and getting to know MyPlate. You will find a five-sheet worksheet set for teens and adults, two kid-friendly MyPlate activity sheets, and a full MyPlate teaching workbook with ten ready-to-lead lessons.

Worksheets for every age group

For younger students, the MyPlate word game and make-your-plate activity keep hands busy while the idea sinks in. For teens and adults, the food diary, plate-rating, added-sugar, sodium, and fiber worksheets connect the lesson to real choices they make every day. And when you want a full unit, the MyPlate workbook walks a leader through ten lessons for mixed ages. Pick the ones that fit your group and skip the rest.

How to use them

Use a worksheet as a warm-up before a lesson, as a check for understanding after it, or as a take-home that brings the family into the conversation. They also work well at a health fair table, where people have a few minutes and like something to do.

Download and print

All of these are free to download and print for your own class or clinic. Grab the ones that fit your group below, print as many copies as you like, and keep a set on hand for your next lesson.
