The Foodies / Resources / Online Games, Videos and Downloadables / Games And Activities About Nature In The Garden
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.

22/04/2009 20:33:00 Games And Activities About Nature In The Garden
While The Foodies are not trying to educate about nature and the environment in general (there are loads of brilliant organisations for that).
But everyone who wants to garden organically needs a basic understanding of the role of wildlife in a garden and how a natural balance establishes itself in nature. These activities help with that basic understanding.
Spotted Pacman
A simple pacman inspired game where a ladybird has to gobble up aphids and avoid a range of predators. Using arrow keys, with very little language. On the Woodland Trust site http://www.naturedetectives.org.uk/play/games/
