I found this free website that is a worksheet generator. You can use it to create matching, crossword, word search, bingo games, dice etc... I used it to make a matching worksheet for fruits and vegetables. http://www.toolsforeducators..com I am trying to think of a game that I could use the dice.

We're back...we took a break for a little while. We had family visit and so much going on but now we are back in the swing of things. I just went to a curriculum fair on friday and bought almost all of Meara's kindergarten curriculum for the fall. We are so EXCITED!!Meara is a picky eater just like I was when I was growing up. The only vegetables she likes to eat are carrots, lettuce and celery. The rest takes some persuading her to eat. I found this great reward chart that we have started to use this week as incintive. http://www.ichild.co.uk/activities/reward-charts/fruit-and-veg-reward-chart-new.php
She likes to seperate food groups out using her play food. I made some food group cards...since we are talking about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables we only used those two.

Awesome that you found that found reward chart for MEARA!! I know that will help her a bit to start eating more...hope it helps at least! I know it can be stressful to get her to eat but hang in there and just stay positive!
ReplyDeleteI think she has come around alittle since Ive known her...I mean she ate a hotdog for the first time at my house, C'MON!! ha ha (I know its not the best thing, but every kid needs a hotdog! ha)
Just kidding!
I like the Vegetable print-outs you made and how you get her to distinguish between them...pretty good lesson!
LOVE YA AND GLAD YOUR BACK TO BLOGVILLE!! SJ
Hi! I just followed your link from Mama King's giveaway - Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great lesson. It is always a bit of a challenge to work with my kinds on understanding the difference between healthy & unhealthy food choices. They have a different understanding of what it means for a food to be "good for me!" B/C of course McDonalds is good for them;)
