Healthy Eating Just Got FUN! Operation: Vegetables - The Giant Board Game of Yummy Health

An active game to create funny veggie superheroes, supervillians and fruit sidekick characters to encourage reading skills, and prompt action and reaction. A mix of large scale Twister-like active game board, with Chutes and Ladders meets Candyland but all colorful veggies and fruits. Kids become game piece

s and move around the board, while helpers read and fetch the dice. Children from past workshops designed and named the action card characters, and Linda Zolten Wood assigned them funny actions for the kids to follow: hopping, jumping, skipping and twirling due to positive or negatives associated with their identities (sour lemons, hot peppers, crunchy apples, etc). The game is often paired with a raised garden box planted with fresh veggies and herbs, then painted with the characters, as well as supported by a painted rain barrel. Created by 2016 Ballot Box Project Grantee Linda Zolten Wood, who engaged Collinwood children from 1st - 5th grades at Memorial Nottingham Library (Mem/Nott), Grovewood Road Salvation Army Summer Camp and Collinwood Branch Library. The game is positioned in the kids section of the Library, with the garden box directly outside of the children’s section windows, echoing the accent colors of Mem/Nott’s architecture and the painted rain barrel hand selected for the blues and greens designed by local architect Richard Fleischman. Memorial Nottingham Library‘s new Vegetable Garden box is for the families of the neighborhood to water, nurture and harvest while they enjoy their artwork and is OPEN to anyone who wants to help throughout the Summer & Fall until the first frost. Children's Librarian Libby Hampton can be contacted at (216) 623-7038 to learn more about the garden and how to volunteer. The box will be replanted each Summer as long as there is support and interest. This project was Generously Supported by:
, Shores & voted for by the residents of Ward 8: Collinwood, Ohio, with added support by The Collinwood Painted Rain Barrel Project, Neighborhood Connections, Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, Cleveland Water and Cleveland Climate Action Fund. Tax-deductible donations are welcome. If you want a game for your site, contact zoltenwooddesign@aol.com.
