how can I create a game for children to promote healthy eating?
I volunteer in a children’s classroom and I need to create a game or activity to promote healthy eating in children. But, I can’t think of anything. PLEASE Help
Depending on the size of your class, you could do a very simple cookery lesson. Making a fruit salad, or a healthy sandwich for example which your class can help with and get and taste afterwards.
Or what about getting them to make posters about healthy eating to put up around the school.
Or hide fresh pieces of fruit and veg around the class room for them to find and then write different ways you could eat them.
Maybe, again depending on the size of your class, take them to a grocery shop to buy a healthy foods and make something with them.
Get them to write a song or a poem about their favourite fruit or veg, or even draw a picture.
Have a sponsored ‘No chocolate and no candy’ day where their family and friends sponsor them to eat only healthy foods.
Get them to dress up as different types of fruit and veg and create a presentation to share with the class about their chosen food.
Teach them where their food comes from. Arrange a trip to a local farm to show them just where the food they eat if grown.
Good luck!
You can make a board game. You can make flash cards. You can have them write a song and perform it. You can write a play or have them do it. You can have each one learn about one healthy food, and give a presentation either to your group or the class or going from room to room. You can make hand puppets representing vegetables. You can have them grow grass, so they learn how plants are grown. You could ask to teacher to arrange a field trip to Whole Foods, where they will give a presentation or maybe come into the classroom.
