•Name of the Game-YOU MAKE ME SICK
•Object of the game-Be the person with the highest number of matched terms to definitions sets collected
•Contents-Game Board, 40 cards including 20 vocabulary words and 20 definitions (can be modified)
•Preparation for Play-Game can be played with 2 or more players, and can also be played with teams, whatever way a teacher would see fit to utilize it. Game can either be played after studying a lesson on things that can make you sick, or it can be used as a precursor to the same lesson as a way of introducing the vocabulary words on the topic. Also, it can be a fun game for students to play who have finished a lesson but want a challenge to further their understanding.
•Rules of the Game-Players or teams alternate taking turns flipping over one card and then a 2nd one to see if they have found a word and it’s definition. If 2 terms or 2 definitions are revealed or if the term and definition do not match, they flip them back over and their turn is done. Players should be attentive so they can remember placement of cards in order to assist them in finding a match on their turn. If a match is found the player/team keeps the set of cards and continues turning over 2 cards, one at a time. A match continues turn, a mismatch ends the turn and the next player/team takes their turn.
Ending the Game-When all sets have been matched, revealed and collected the player(s) or team(s) with the most matches is determined to be the winner. Cards are shuffled and replaced on board, facedown (without anyone looking at words) in a random manner so no one can see where the cards are being placed.

1. The name of my game is “Curves and Swerves.”
2. This game is designed for Preschool/Kindergarten.
3. Health GLE- 1.Personal and Family Health (identify behaviors that keep a person healthy, ex. physical activity, sleep, good nutrition, clothing, hygiene).
4. This game is durable because it is on a thick foam board. Also, it’s safe because there are no sharp edges or little enough pieces for a child to choke on.
5. Children at this age are able to roll and dice and recognize that the number they receive is the amount of spaces that they need to move forward. Then, they will know how to move that many spaces ahead. Also, they will use the red and green roads to move up and down spaces because there are arrows that show them which way to go.
6. This game is eye catching and attractive because I used a lot of bright colors and stickers. It’s neat because I don’t have any spelling errors and everything is written very nicely. It’s accurate because there is a point to the game and a clear “winner.”
7. Yes
8. This game is teacher-constructed and innovative because the game itself is made from scratch. It’s great for children in the 3-5 range because it’s something they can do on their own after receiving instruction. I used the idea of “Chutes and Ladders” to come up with this. However, I geared it toward Health, Safety, and Nutrition with clearly labeled items that are good and bad.
9. This game reinforces my GLE because it illustrates to the kids what things are good for us and what things are bad. The items on the green road take them further up the board and closer to winning because they are good for us. The items on the red roads are bad for them and will take them closer to the beginning. Also, I didn’t just focus on food, I also included physical activity.
10. Name: The name of the game is Curves and Swerves.
- Object: object of the game is to be the first to reach the 96th box which is the very last one on the top row.
-Contents: the game includes the board, a dice, and 4 cars
-Preparation for Play: Position the game board so all the players can easily move their cars from square to square. Everyone choose a car to play with. Chosen cars start off the board near square #1.
-Rules of the Game: On your turn, roll the dice and move your car square by square, the number shown on the dice. Ex) if you roll a “5” you should end up on the square with the number “5” on it. If you land on a square that has a green road attached to it, you will take the road up to the square it leads you to. As you go over the road, look at the good things you can eat and do to make yourself a healthier person. If you land on a square with a red road on it, you have to follow the road down to the square it leads you to. As you go over the road, look at the bad things you should avoid eating and doing so you don’t become an unhealthy person.
-Ending the Game: The person/car that reaches the last square (96) first is the winner!
Fishing 4 Food
Object: To have the most Food Models at the end of the game. Participants will also be able to identify a food and the food group to which it belongs.
Contents: A variety of Five Food Group Food Models, Paper clips, Ruler, Very strong magnet, String
Preparation for Play: Attach a paper clip to each Food Model. Attach string to dowel or ruler and tie a magnet to the string. You can also get a small plastic or inflatable wading pool.
Rules of the Game:
1) Give each student a chance to fish until a Food Model is caught. If the student can correctly name the food and its food group, the Food Model can be kept.
2) If the student gets a glass of water they keep the Food Model till the end and it is counted towards their total number of cards and they get another turn.
3) If the student cannot correctly name the food group another student can guess by forfeiting one of their waters Food Models which is taken out of the game at this time.
4) If the student catches a sugary food item they lose a turn for insufficient energy and the card is taken out of the game.
Ending the Game: Once all the pieces have been caught the game ends and the student with the most Food Models wins.
