Healthy Eating Games & Activities
Get Inspired
Using games and activities is a great way to help children learn about
healthy eating while having fun at the same time! The ideas below can
be used to engage children in healthy eating experiences, teach them
to recognise different foods and encourage them to experiment with
new foods, tastes, flavours and textures.
The Veggie Guessing Bag
Outstanding Client
Of The Month!
Meet Kathy & Tony Diina
Thank you for trusting us to clean
your Summer beach house and for
the very kind review you left for us
afterwards.
Every month I choose a very special
Client Of The Month. It’s my way of
acknowledging loyal clients and
saying a big “Thank you!” to those
who support me and my business
with referrals and repeat
business…You could be my next
Client Of The Month!

Try this activity to increase children’s recognition and awareness of
different vegetables. Place some vegetables (real or plastic) in a bag
(e.g. pillow slip). Ask children to feel inside the bag and guess which
vegetables are there. As a variation, blindfold children and place a
vegetable in their hands. Ask them to guess what the vegetable is by
feeling, smelling and even tasting it.
Choose a Letter of the Week
Each week taste and discuss healthy foods which start with the
chosen letter of the week. For example, for the letter ‘M’ try
mushroom, milk and mango.
Odd One Out
Say a series of four words including three vegetables and one odd
word, for example, “Carrot, potato, cat, onion”. Ask children to identify
the odd word.
Make the game more challenging by using an odd word that is also a
food, for example, “Celery, capsicum, carrot, yoghurt”. Ask the
children why the odd word does not belong with the rest of the group.
Create a Vegetable Person
“Don’t Let the Summer Sneak by
Without Calling You-Know-Who” and
receive a nice discount!

Create a ‘vegetable person’ using real vegetables or pictures of
vegetables. Help children use toothpicks to make their vegetable
person stand up and be three-dimensional. If using real vegetables,
encourage children to eat their vegetable person for morning or
afternoon snack.
