Growing Together: Open Forum

Greetings to all - I am putting together a resource list of educational/nutrition/garden games appropriate for elementary school age children.  There doesn't seem to be a lot of high quality games out there.  I know this because I created and am marketing one called Foodles and get a lot of parents and teachers asking me if I know of more games like mine that educate and empower children to eat healthy.  

Send the names of any my way and I'll check them out for my list.  

This is a wonderful community - glad I found it.

We participated in a program called "Color Me Healthy" through Texas AgriLife. Our kids really had fun and tried lots of new healthy foods and drinks. I've attached their contact information. I am always looking for the same types of activities-hopefully we get a few more here!

I see Texas AgriLife mentioned in another post and I want to also mention the Learn Grow, Eat Go curriculum also published by Junior Master Gardener and Texas AgriLife. It is excellent resource and contains nutrition games (including recipes in bilingual English/Spanish format , info about how to plan and nurture a garden, a chapter on the importance of exercise and movement, and more!

The Junior Master Gardener team is running a LGEG curriculum training session in College Station, Texas this summer for the Learn Grow, Eat Go Curriculum.
