Yamy et les aliments

"Yamy et les aliments" is a game, where kids learn about nutrition in a light, playful way. In the game, they direct a little monster with an insatiable appetite who loves to eat everything that crosses his path. The children learn what happens when they eat too much or too few of certain food categories and how much calories per day are needed. Feeding the monster a healthy diet means he can’t have too much or too little to eat. Furthermore, players have to make sure he gets a varied diet. The game is based on real calorie counts and scientific dietary recommendations for children of this age. The game teaches children about the energy value of foods and the healthy composition of a food pyramid.

The corresponding teaching materials were created by the PHSZ, the game is shown at the nutrition museum Alimentarium and can be played online at their eMuseum.
