My Review: Today we are reviewing the “Healthy Helpings™ A MyPlate Game” from Learning Resources for all of you. This game set is made for children ages 4 and up and in grades K and up. The object of the game is to be the first person to fill up your plate with a well-balanced meal! If you choose your food and beverage options wisely, you can win! The game is best suited for 2 to 4 players.
The Game Set Includes: 4 placemats (game boards), 50 food cards, game spinner and a guide with food group facts.
I first want to state, Little G is a little over 3 years of age and with our help and guidance, she was able to play this game with us. So, if you have an advanced 3 year old, this game would be fine with them!
We sat down one afternoon to try out the game with Little G and we had 3 adult players and of course, her. It took me a few minutes to get the game set up and to read over the instructions. The concept of the game is really easy to understand and something that young kids can grasp quite quickly.
We all took turns spinning the spinner and taking our turns. As I previously stated, Little G is 3 years old so we did have to help her. With that said, it was funny to see what she considered a healthy meal to be. While this game is fun to play, it is educational for both children and adults! I learned a lot about healthy meals by just playing the game with her.
Your placemat (game board) has 5 sections on it that the player needs to fill up. There is a Fruits, Grains, Vegetables, Protein and Dairy section. Since little G loves fruits and grains, she was really going after those hahaha! We had a great time playing this game with her and will continue to play the game with her so that she learns about healthy foods and healthy eating. Kids learn best when they are having fun and this game is definitely fun! yeah!
