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 colourful rainbow chart(图表) and bright colourful 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(维生素), minerals (矿物质) and nutrients(营养物). Many nutrients give fruit and vegetables bright colours. The
brighter, the better! The chart is made up of these important colours: red, orange,
yellow and green. The different bright colours show the different nutrients
that each fruit or vegetable has. So we can use the rainbow colours as a guide
to know what we should eat today.
