III. FOODPLAY “Fruit + Veggie 5-A-Day!” Tracker Bands

Distribute Tracker Band Kits to your students and encourage them to eat more fruits and veggies every day. Each set includes 6 Tracker Bands, a bookmark with tips, and a tracking log.  

Create a fun activity, contest, or campaign for at least a week – where kids put tracker bands on one wrist, and every time they eat a fruit or vegetable (or are physically active for 10 minutes) they get to move a band to the other wrist. At the end of the day, they can see if they’ve met their goal!

• Tracker Bands will be sent to your school prior to the performance. 

IV. FOODPLAY Snack Cards and Take the FOODPLAY Challenge! Cards

Distribute to students, encourage them to color the “Take the FOODPLAY Challenge!” side, bring home, and post on their fridge to remind their whole family of healthy snacks and tips to treat their bodies right.

• The FOODPLAY Troupe will provide these prior to the performance.
