Children played and named fruits, and had a lot of fun. They learned new exotic fruits such as starfruit, passion fruit, dragon fruit, and fig. The next day the children were able to see and taste a fig.  We had a guest speaker that taught us how many serving of each food type we should eat per day using the my plate as a resource for children to learn more on healthy food

The children had the opportunity to go on a scavenger hunt to  find different colors of fruits and veggies, using a color wheel. Then we played hangman with the words of vegetables and fruits. When a letter was missed, all of the youth did exercises such as running in place, jumping jacks, or knee lifts.
