This is a template that I used in Kidspiration. This specific template is an example of drill-and-practice. In this activity, students must pick foods that fit into each of the different food groups. Once they have filled each of the food groups up they must pick foods to make a balanced meal. This is drill-and-practice because the students would have already learned about a healthy eating plan and which foods belong in which groups. They would also already know how how much of each food group they are supposed to eat in each day. Making this "meal plan" is putting their knowledge to use in a real life situation. It would be good to make this an activity where students planned their meals out for an entire week and then print the pictures out to bring home and try to follow their plans. This would give them a better idea of of how difficult, or easy, it is to actually follow the food pyramid.
