Teachers notes on using the good food choices giant dice

This dice is designed to assist students in making choices that are better for their health.

This game can be played with either 1) the children choosing their favourite food 2) choosing the healthiest food 3) what the child would eat 4) identifying healthy everyday foods 5) selecting those foods that are only okay to eat sometimes

The healthy food choices template allows for each child to color-in their food choices, which teachers can review. This then allows teachers to assess opportunities for further teaching based on the children’s responses.

Changes in eating practices in the children could be mapped over time by playing the game 4 months later for example.

The resource would include parent involvement where the student takes their work home and discusses it with their parents with the parents signing for their participation in discussing healthy food choices with their parents.
