What is the daily recommended calorie intake for kids?

Level: Primary / Intermediate

One of our favourite sites is KidsHealth. It has 3 sections: for parents, for kids and for teens. They each have a search box which searches across all three 'sites'.

For this topic we chose to search the kids section first by clicking on KIDS site from the front page. You can either use the search box to type in just your key words OR you can type in a question. 

For this one we used the word calories which bought up a factsheet called Learning about calories. In the Learning about calories article look for the paragraph headed How many calories do kids need? This website has a great range of other factsheets on food & nutrition for kids too.

HOT TIP: The articles will have a K next to them if they are more suitable for kids (or a T for teens and P for parents).
