    A free activity book

    The C.F.G. Mission activity book lets students explore the food categories found in CFG and the foods that make up those categories. Acting as a secret agent, students will solve a series of puzzles, do a word search, make recipes at school or at home, and more!

    There is an infographic to go along with the activity book to help illustrate the topics discussed by the teacher. It can also be used to introduce the CFG through pictures on an IWB. (French Only)
