It is only out of love and concern,They need to know nutritional foods is what our bodies yearn.Tell them types of fruits, vegetables, and other tasty galore Then we’ll grab a buggy and pick up healthy foods more!”

Game DirectionsFor the Teacher:
This game can be used as either a one on one game or a group against group game. It might be more exciting and friendship building to create two teams and get the students to pick team names in relation to Berenstain Bears, such as Berenstain Buddies. (I mention that so they can become characters in the game.) The teacher will flip a coin to decide which team goes first. Based on student behavior that day, the teacher will choose a captain for each team. Each captain for today’s game will answer the questions on the computer based on their group’s decision. It is the teacher’s discretion on whether each student will answer a question or whether several students will talk over each answer.
Read this to the students:Who wants to help Mama Bear out? Well, before you can, she must know
what you know about foods. To help Mama Bear, you have to be the first to answer 15 food-related questions correctly. For every correct answer, the team will choose from the serving bowl. The catch, however, is that you also have to be the first to complete the board game with the 15 servings placed in the correct number and food group spots. Only one question per turn is allowed. And the first question to answer is number one, the second is question two, and so on. However when a team hits a Berenstain Bonus- they have the opportunity to win 2 servings if they correctly answer the question. Keep in mind to win, you have to have the proper amount of servings for each food group on the team’s game board at the end of the game.
Remember you can look at the key food pyramid at any time. Optimally, you want 6 servings of the bread group, 3 vegetables, 2 fruits, 2 dairy, 2 meat, and since sweets should be minimal, 0 to 1 in this area.
Return
For every correct answer, the team will choose from the serving bowl.
