Welcome to the Keep Canada Slim Healthy Eating Challenge
Keep Canada Slim has created a program for school children that is easy and fun to do.
Raising our children to enjoy healthy foods and to take responsibility for their health choices is a major interest of all parents and teachers. In today's world of highly-promoted fast foods and convenience junk foods it is more difficult than ever to achieve this. The Keep Canada Slim Healthy Eating Challenge is an exciting and effective way to help teach children these important lessons while at the same time improving their habits. We appreciate your support in this Challenge.

The Keep Canada Slim Healthy Eating Challenge
Objective: A game designed to help kids recognize the value of healthy food choices. By relating food to a scoring system children will perceive that they "win" when they make healthy choices and "lose" when they make poor choices. This makes teaching nutrition a game instead of a lecture and drives home the message in a way that directly relates to their everyday lives. Healthy food choices naturally translate into healthier bodies, which in turn provide the fuel for better physical and mental development. This translates into better study habits, improved learning and improved performance in all areas of life - sports, math, reasoning, and artistic pursuits. The Challenge is a graduated game. Each level requires an increased knowledge of nutritional choices and encourages the student to think more deeply about their food choices. Each level offers teachers an opportunity to add details to the knowledge base they have gained in the previous level.
This segment for Grade 3 students is the introduction to the program. It focuses on the basic rudiments of healthy eating as suggested by Canada's Food Guide and Nutrition Pyramid.
Method: Kids track their school lunches and snacks for 5 days (Mon-Fri). They get points for healthy food choices and lose points for poor choices. Top scores in each class receive recognition awards and prizes. In addition the students who show the highest score increases during the contest receive prizes.
