Learn more about the human body and nutrition through fun,
hands-on activities. A food game features cards with different types of food
and nutrition levels, and players try to draw “nutritious” cards from the pile
to add points to their personal charts. Also included is a human body structure
to assemble with a tube that demonstrates the path of the digestive tract. Push
colored liquid into the model to watch its movement go from the mouth, all the
way down to the anus. A “Quiz game” requires 3 small anatomy puzzles to be
assembled and compared to nutrition quiz sheets. A “Puzzle Game” involves
choosing your personal daily diet with the food cards and adding up nutritional
scores. Then build a small anatomy puzzle to reflect your personal health based
off of your food choices. Also included is a “Facts Game”, recommended for a
parent and child to play together. Each of the food cards have a little rhyme
on the back. Go over these cards with your child and even sing and dance with
the rhymes to help them remember facts about their food, and how it affects our
bodies. These can even be reviewed by asking your child questions from the
facts and having them write the answer on a dry-erase or chalk board.
Includes 44 food cards, two dry erase markers, 3 badges, and
all of the other necessary pieces to do these exciting activities. Included is
a link to instructional YouTube videos for the featured projects. Includes 100
