Resources

These pages are a mixture of our own resources, and those we have found from other people and organisations. Some resources here have been provided by practitioners and parents who have tried and tested them, but you will have to assess for yourself the benefits for your own children and whether it will meet the guidelines you are working with.

Some resources are created by food industries. While they are not allowed to promote intentionally inaccurate information, they will naturally wish to promote their product as the most important part of the diet. However some of the resources they provide are very good when used in context. Wherever I am aware that a resource is industry sponsored I will say so, and you can exercise your common sense in evaluating it.

Healthy Plate Of Food Game

There are a few games around which allow you to choose foods and drag and drop them onto a plate to see what sort of meal you'd make.

This one is particularly good because it gives you an analysis on the right hand side of how balanced your meal is in terms of different food groups and the nutritients you're looking to take it.

Also if you double click on any food, a little card pops up with more sophisticated information about the nutritional profile of the food, so you can choose to make the learning more in depth if you wish.

There is a very broad range of foods to choose from, although it is an American site so many of the foods are more geared to the US, nevertheless most foods you would want to choose are on there.

A really well thought out version of this activity. Play it here.
