The Fruit & Veggie Race: A Nutrition Board Game  

Debuted at the California State Food Conference, this fun & simple board game helps teach children to identify healthy food alternatives. Eating colorful fruits and vegetables a day is part of an important plan for healthier living.   - Patent Pending -

INSTRUCTIONS - Select a level that is age appropriate

Level 1: Players pick up one “Fruit & Vegetable” card each time they chance to land on a “Fruit” or “Vegetable” space. Players who land on a space other than a “Fruit” or “Vegetable” have to give up one of their “Fruit & Vegetable” cards, if they have one. The player with the most “Fruit & Vegetable” cards in hand after all players have reached the “Finish” wins the game.

Level 2: Players who land on a space other than a “Fruit” or “Vegetable” have to give up one of their “Fruit & Vegetable” cards AND forfeit their next turn.

Level 3: Challenge players further by requiring them to shout “FRUITS & VEGGIES!” before picking up a “Fruit & Vegetable” card. If a player forgets to shout “Fruits & Veggies” before picking up their playing card, and they are caught by another player before the next player spins, the player who forgets to shout forfeits the opportunity to pick up their card.
