Today I Ate a Rainbow is a useful game about our health. It makes eating a rainbow of fruit and vegetables fun for kids! In the game, the teachers or parents use a colorful rainbow chart(图表)and bright colorful magnets(磁铁). Children know about the fruit and vegetables they eat the whole day.
"Sometimes it can be really difficult to get children to eat their fruit and vegetables, "says Mrs Welles. "My little son is weak, and he doesn't like fruit or vegetables. He likes to eat junk food. I think this chart can help him know about how much fruit and vegetables he eats every day. I'm sure the idea can work well."
Fruit and vegetables have vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Many nutrients give fruit and vegetables bright colors. The brighter, the better! The chart is made up of these important colors: red, orange, yellow and green. The different bright colors show the different nutrients that each fruit or vegetable has. So we can use the rainbow colors as a guide to know what we should eat today.
