A Fun Way For Kids To Learn About Fruits & Vegetables

Kids and parents will find fun and educational games on foodchamps.org. The site was put together by the non-profit Produce for Better Health Foundation. Their mission is to create a healthier America through increased consumption of a variety of fruits and vegetables.

The games are for kids between 2 to 8 years old. Kids will love the online interactive games and will also find coloring sheets, activity pages and easy recipes that they can make with adults. There is also an art gallery where kids can submit their original creations!

Fun and Educational games for kids ages 2-5:
  • Fruit & Veggie Matching Game
  • Fruit & Veggie Naming Game
  • Fruit or Vegetable?
  • Find the Fruits & Veggies
  • What Color are the Fruits & Veggies?
Games for kids ages 6-8 - Learn how food gets from farms and orchards to your dinner table!
  • Fruit & Vegetable Math
  • Fruit & Veggie Pyramid Game
  • Healthy Choices Maze

I really like the activity sheets on foodchamps.org. The Supermarket Scavenger Hunt will make grocery shopping an adventure for your kids. The Fruit & Veggie Eater Meter is also a great tool for kids to track their fruit and veggie consumption.

Nutrient and fiber rich fruits and veggies will keep your kids healthy and strong. They may eventually crave fruit and veggie snacks and eat less sugary treats!
