Adventurous Eating is the most engaging way to get kids excited about fruit and vegetables.

From the charity behind the award-winning Teach Your Monster To Read comes Teach Your Monster: Adventurous Eating, a learning game that makes kids excited about fruit and vegetables!

Inspired by the SAPERE method, Adventurous Eating is a game developed with Dr Lucy Cooke, an expert in children’s food preferences and eating habits. This scientific learning technique encourages children to learn new things about food. They do this by using all five senses; sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste.

WHY PLAY ADVENTUROUS EATING?

This game is full of fun mini-games that encourage 3 to 6 year olds to explore foods with all five of their senses. This helps them to build a better relationship with food. We know that by creating their own monster, children respond well to feeding or caring for them. The game also encourages kids to try fruit and all using their senses. Research shows this is an effective way of making new food less intimidating.

HOW DOES ADVENTUROUS EATING WORK?

A child makes their very own monster guided through the game by Bub. From our research, we know that kids love caring for characters. It also allows children to be a bit braver with trying new things, playing through their monster.

Their monster plays a fun mini-game at each of the five tables at the party, one for each sense. Kids love that their monsters are exploring the food and reacting!

Their monster uses its senses to explore over 40 different fruit and vegetables! This means we are introducing the child to more food that they may see in supermarkets or at home.

Every time their monster uses one of its senses with a new fruit or vegetable, they receive a star. These stars give the monster access to the exclusive disco party where the child will hear a unique, catchy song for every fruit and vegetable they try. We know from our research that children respond well to songs.

Everyone leaves the disco with a sticker for their food book when the party ends. To make it even more fun, the child can customise the food their monster has tried with a silly face and body parts too. This is a great way for the players to look back at all the different fruit and vegetables their monster has tried!

Then it’s off to bed, where their monster dreams about the food they have tried that day!

HOW CAN ADVENTUROUS EATING HELP CHILDREN?

Adventurous Eating has been tested over a 1.4m times by 350,000 children worldwide.

After playing the game, the children are more likely to try new fruits and vegetables. They also ask when they can play again to ensure their monster goes to the disco party!

Over half of the parents said their children would have a healthier relationship with food after playing Teach Your Monster: Adventurous Eating.
