A Healthy Lunchbox Game

Written by: Christina LoPiccolo
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Other than picking out a fun design on the outside of their lunchbox, what do students know about healthy lunches?

Today’s Site of the Day challenges students to find foods that make a healthy and balanced lunch. After choosing one of the fun lunchbox designs, players build a healthy sandwich from the choices provided, choose two sides, and finish up with a drink. After students complete their lunch, feedback will be provided about their lunchtime choices.
