| Developer: | Beth Loiselle, RD | | Assessment instrument Used? | No | | Use Restrictions: | May not copy. | | Reviewers Comments: | The Food Game is designed to make family meals an enjoyable experience and encourage children to try new foods. The game is intended to be played at mealtime, with different spaces on the game board color-coded to represent different foods to try. The parent or educator will need to prepare 3 items in advance of the game – a vegetable or fruit, a protein, and a rice or starch. Twelve sample menus with some recipes are provided. Recipes do not include nutrition information.
This game may be a fun way to introduce new foods to young children. SNAP-Ed providers can use this game during snack time with small groups of children. Since no nutrition information is provided, educators may want to add a nutrition education component, teaching children about the new foods. It would work best with preschool age children. Only two to four people can play at once, so The Food Game will not work well for larger families who want to eat together. Meal tips and advice for introducing new foods are included in the instruction booklet.
