| ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER Seekonk, Massachusetts "At last I've found a painless way to teach my students about nutrition. ALL YOU CAN EAT is as enjoyable as it is educational. Not only does it teach about food groups and a balanced diet, but it introduces new and less familiar foods in a positive way. Thank you for this valuable game." Susan Bergstrand, Elementary Teacher SCHOOL NURSE Seekonk, Massachusetts "I used the nutrition game ALL YOU CAN EAT in my Health classes and the children really enjoyed playing it at all grade levels. Each week they would ask if they could play it. It was great see learning taking place at the same time that they were having fun." Lisa McLintock, RN School Nurse DIETITIAN CONSULTANT Barrington, Rhode Island I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate your marvelous new game. In my clinical practice I am always looking for interesting ways to instruct adults about healthy eating habits. Your game has worked very well with my clients who live in group homes and need weight control and/or diabetes counseling. I am easily able to modify your game cards and score sheet to limit or add choices containing starch and/or fat. Playing your game encourages skill development in planning meals that include healthy choices from the different food groups. Clients in small group settings seem to enjoy learning while interacting with each other in a lightly competitive and fun way. I find it especially helpful that your game reinforces messages about physical activity with a positive connection to healthy eating choices. Sincerely, Linda Alves M.A., R.D., L.D.N. SENIOR CENTER East Providence, Rhode Island The nutrition/weight loss group at East Providence Senior Center has been in existence since November 1998. We are continually striving for new ideas to assist our seniors to eat well and improve their health. For the past year we have been using your game, ALL YOU CAN EAT, at least once each ten-week session. Our seniors love it and consistently ask for it. Not only do they learn healthy food choices, the ALL YOU CAN EAT game introduces them to foods they are unfamiliar with, and they learn Spanish! The friendly competition the game inspires is a refreshing change from the traditional lecture format. Learning is stimulated in a fun and easy manner. We have been very pleased to use the ALL YOU CAN EAT game and plan to continue to do so for all of our classes. Thank you for your invention! Sincerely, Maureen D. Bouris N. Ed., RN GRADE 2-3 LOOPING TEACHER George R. Martin School "All you Can Eat" is a fun and easy way to teach small groups of children about nutrition. The color coded cards, along with the menu helped my third graders sort and categorize foods into groups that are found on the food pyramid. The children were able to plan a well balanced meal with very little effort. In addition to the nutritional value of this game, my students also learned about foods that were previously unfamiliar to them. They couldn't believe there is actually an ugli fruit! Some of my students were also excited to see the Spanish words for these foods, since they are studying Spanish. Maryann Heywood George R. Martin School |
