Get a jar of cookies or some other sweet that your kids enjoy and have the roll a dice and if they get a number between 1 and 3 they get one sweet and a number between 4 and 6 gets them 2 sweets. Make them eat only healthyy foods elsewise

Make up a game that whoever only eats healthy food for a week wins. Take the winner(or winners) out to a store and let them each pick out a game that you buy for them. Ok, for breakfast, lunch and dinner(or if its a program, for snack time) make healthy stuff, but not stuff that they wouldnt eat because it is gross(like if they dont like lettuce, dont give them lettuce). When you buy snacks, dont buy ALL healthy stuff, buy SOME unhealthy snacks too. Here is a pretty good shopping list of stuff you can buy. Do not buy if anyone is allergic to one of these.- Oatmeal- orange juicec- Let them each pick out a cerealboxthat they can have 4 times a week(like say Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and thurday)-Milk- Sanwich meat-Ritz crackers- Some chips- Apple juice- Chicken(no hormones)- Hamburger meat- Bread(if you want white get the sara lee whole grain white)-Some stuff to put in the bread(like peanut butter, or jelly)-. Pickles -. Popcorn- Butter- Jelly filled poptarts( Dont buy the chocolate filled ones)I hope I helped with all this!!! :-)

How about Bingo? Have them put vocabulary words on a BINGO card that you provide and then you call out the defintions? Also, if you are teaching the Food Guide Pyramid, you can visiti mypyramid.gov. They have an online game you can play there to try and "launch the space shuttle" by providing it with the right fuel (i.e. Good Nutrition)
