Parents need to know that this site uses games to teach kids about good nutrition and exercise. Like a tasty meal that's packed with nutritious veggies, this site is disguised to look like simple fun, but is actually loaded with good-for-you information.
Educational value:This site is packed with information for kids on health, their bodies, and diet and exercise. Info blurbs on every page provide quick snippets of advice, like letting you know how many calories you burn walking for 20 minutes or why fat (when used sparingly) is an essential part of a healthy diet. Games focus on teaching kids about healthy choices in a challenging format.
Positive messages:The site is centered around educating kids about healthy eating habits and exercise methods. Games help kids practice choosing healthy food and proper exercise. The information is presented in a light-hearted way so kids look at healthy options as fun, not intimidating.
Consumerism:The site is funded through grants, so there are no ads or promotions. Although users will soon be able to create an account on the site, there are no plans to charge for use and all games and features are free.
I've seen a lot of sites that feature health games. Most are very boring, very cheesy, or look like they're from the 90s. Playnormous does it right. Their games are addicting and the site has amazing graphics. I think both kids and parents would enjoy this website, teachers too. I'm looking forward to seeing their food pyramid game.
