This Grade 2 worksheet on Vocabulary: Food, Health & Recycling helps learners strengthen subject-based vocabulary related to food groups, healthy eating habits, and environmental responsibility. Developing vocabulary in these areas improves comprehension, real-life awareness, and confident communication.
Through three structured sorting activities, students classify grains and fruits (apple, maize, wheat, papaya, barley, pear, grapes, oats, rice, orange), differentiate between healthy and junk foods (spinach, chips, lettuce, fries, nuts, pizza, cake, carrot, burger, milk), and sort recyclable items into plastic and paper bins (newspaper, bottle, notebook, plastic bag, paper cup, toys, envelope, carton, plastic cup, plastic lid). Each activity connects vocabulary learning with practical life skills.

1. It builds awareness about balanced diets and nutrition.
