You changed my life! I stopped eating so much junk food, now I eat lots more fruit and vegetables. I’m playing outside instead of watching TV! Thank you!”

FOODPLAY is just what the PTO loves to sponsor! We’ve never seen the children so responsive, including those hard-to-please older kids. Thanks for a FANTASTIC performance!”

FOODPLAY teaches kids how to:

  • Fuel up with breakfast every day.
  • Balance their diet using MyPlate.
  • Fill half their plate with fruits and veggies.
  • Cut down on sweets, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.
  • Increase participation in school breakfast and lunch programs.
  • Read food labels and see through media messages.
  • Get the most nutritional value for their money.
  • Have fun being physically active every day.
  • Feed their bodies healthy food and their minds healthy messages.
  • Make choices that are good for their health and the health of the planet.
  • Treat their bodies right—whatever size and shape—and discover that every body is different, and different is a great thing!

FOODPLAY comes with great resources to extend the learning all year long!

“I recommend every food service director in the country bring FOODPLAY to their schools – it’s an absolutely wonderful way to market your school nutrition program, boost participation in school breakfast and lunch, dramatically improve children’s eating and exercise habits, market healthy foods to kids and get kids to eat them, and get all stakeholders on board – kids, parents, teachers, administrators, and the community – to support school nutrition. The kids had so much fun, they didn’t realize how much they were learning!”

- Yolanda Burt, Outstanding School Food Service Director of the Year, Hartford Public Schools
