What was your favorite nutrition/ health game that you played today? Why? What did you learn or what helped solidify good practices you already knew about? For Which audiences would this work best?
My favorite nutrition/health game was the Nutrition Decision page. The games on the website taught you how to read food labels. It was a colorful game with constant repetition, easy to maneuver and easy to understand. It was a refresher course for me and thoroughly enjoyed it. This game works best for audiences from the ages of 9 thru 13.
My favorite nutrition game I played today was Food Fury. I was surprised by how well made the game was and how addicting it became.
The premise was chaining foods from three groups, Go, Slow, and Whoa. The game helped solidify my belief that covering broccoli in cheese does not mean it's something to eat all the time.
The game seems to be made for elementary children in particular, but I can imagine an adult getting some enjoyment and education from this game.
I liked it because it was a new approach to food, food combinations, and energy, and because it incorporated local/cultural foods, such as tamales and breakfast burritos.
It helped solidify good practices of nutrition and food choices, and what foods are more nutritional and beneficial than others.
This game would work well for audiences of K-5 as a teacher-driven site for group activity or individually for older students, such as 2-5. This could also be used with parents and their kids.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite game was food detectives.
The interactive puzzles were fun and informative. It was very easy to read and navigate through.
The games show things about when to wash your hands and how keep and prepare food to avoid germs.
This game would work best for grade school students. The controls and characters are very fun and informative.
