Hi Jasmine,
Have you thought about asking your students to list x number of foods that they consume and they can trace it back to where it grows or lives? I don't know if that is practice for your age group but it could be a start to the discussion of food webs.
In the attached collection is one that may help you but I wasn't able to attach just the file, Whoo Eats What?
Another way is to have students think about local animals, and then figure out what they eat, etc. After you have a web or list, then talk about food as fuel.
The Cycle of Life lesson is for grades 3-5 but it may give you more specific ideas.
Project Learning Tree has lessons about ecosystems that introduce food webs & chains as well.
Hope this gives you ideas and activities you can use!
