Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
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.

19/04/2009 17:40:00 Games About Being Healthy
These games help children choose a healthy diet or understand why a diet needs to be varied and low in salt, sugar and fat.
Building A Meal
A multiple choice click or drag and drop exercise to choose a healthy lunchbox. Feedback given at the end. Minimal reading needed for game (can guess without labels) but need help to understand feedback. On the Food A Fact Of Life Website http://www.foodafactoflife.org.uk/Activity.aspx?siteId=14§ionId=61&contentId=56
Understanding Which Foods Are Healthier Choices
Here at The Foodies we don't believe in teaching children that foods are 'good' and 'bad', but children do need to understand which foods are good choices and which need to be taken in moderation. Games are great for reinforcing this.
A catching game using arrow keys - catch 5 fruit or vegetables and don't catch too many sugary salty foods. On the Phunky Food website. http://www.phunkyfoods.co.uk/kidz/pages/reachfor5.swf
