Healthy Eating Games and Ideas: Play Free Kids Games With FoodGames Using Healthy Food For ChildrenSponsored Links Playing games and coming up with creative ideas for healthy eating games is going to be a fun and creative prospect. I think we should enjoy preparing our food as much as we enjoy eating it. What would you say? I’ve conjured up a couple of entertaining and education games that will empower us towards cooking and eating healthy, or at least healthier. plus, in the long run, these will also help in developing healthy eating plans. Let’s play some games, shall we.
Healthy Eating Games: Name This FoodA fun and educational game for teaching young children about healthy eating is the “name this food” game. Gather up about 30 or 40 different foods. Blind fold the child and have him or her identify the food through smell and touch.Maybe it’s an apple, or a cashew nut, or maybe it is a pear. This game works well in a school setting using teams. The more the merrier. Another way to play this game is to have them taste each healthy food and then guess what that food is.
Healthy Eating Games: What’s In It?At the next family outing, picnic, or shindig have each family member prepare something healthy to bring along. Then at the dinner table while everyone is eating, take turns trying to figure out the ingredients in each healthy dish.Whose was the healthiest? Whose tasted the best? Keep this game light and fun loving. After all, you’re family. Maybe after dinner you can all get together and make a healthy dessert.
Healthy Eating Games: Money For Your HealthDo you have teenagers in the home? If so, this game will surely bring out the health nut in your teen. For one week have your teenager write down every single thing they eat from morning to night.This means even if they eat a handful of potato chips, they need to write it down. This includes whatever they are eating in school too. After one week take a look at the list. For each healthy food that they ate, add $1 beside that food. For each unhealthy food item they ate, add a negative (-)$1 beside that food. Add the amounts and give your teen the total sum of monies for each healthy food they ate. For an example: Let’s say he ate an apple, peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread with milk for lunch. He would get one dollar for the apple, one dollar for the peanut butter (no sugar), and one dollar for the milk to make $3. But, the jelly is really not that good for him, so take away a dollar. The white bread is not good for him, so take another dollar away. So the total would be $1 he made for lunch. He could have made $5 just for lunch if he would have eaten his sandwich on whole wheat and used raw honey or date sugar instead of the jelly. Apple - $1
Real Peanut Butter - $1
Jelly - (-)$1
White or Wheat Bread - (-)$1
Milk - $1
Healthy Eating Games: Juice For Soda PopThis game might be kind of hard for those people who are used to drinking soda pop. But it is a great way to break a bad habit. Breaking bad eating habits can be a fun affair with games that make eating healthy foods fun. I know that most of you already know this, but did you know that soda pop has anywhere between 10 and 12 teaspoons of sugar?Every time you want a soda pop, have a glass of organic juice, herbal tea, or water instead. Juice has sugar too, but it is a natural sugar that does not wreck havoc on your system like refined sugar does. After one week of substituting healthy drinks for soda pop reward yourself for each soda pop you do not drink. You can play this game with junk food too. Instead of reaching for that cookie, replace it with a piece of fruit, nuts, popcorn, energy bar or granola. Literally watch the pounds melt away – you will feel so much better too.
