Teacher’s Manual - Free Nutrition and Food Pyramid Computer Game
Chef Solus and the Food Pyramid Adventure Game is a free seven level, nutrition education game for children. This game is designed to allow students to move at their own pace while learning about the importance of eating healthy and daily exercise. Our unique game has students creating 3 balanced meals a day that give their character/avatar the energy to explore the adventurous food pyramid. Kids learn that over eating doesn’t translate into more energy as their character becomes sluggish and must exercise to burn off the extra energy.
To support your nutrition program, we have created a comprehensive, step-by-step teacher’s instructional manual filled with visual guides so you know exactly what your students will be learning at each level. We also provide send home progress reports and printable certificates of achievement for each level of the game.
Please note that some files may take a few minutes to download. Thank you for your patience.
