Children who develop healthy attitudes about trying new foods are likely to choose a varied diet. Help your students to become more adventurous tasters by playing the Tasting Game. Ask students to talk about how they can use their senses to explore food. Can you taste the food? See the color and shape of the food? Smell the aroma of the food? Feel the texture of the food? Hear the sound of the food being eaten? Students can play the Tasting Game in small groups, moving from space to space and describing one food that fits each description. Then have students describe their favorite foods, giving them ten points for each word they use.
