PROGRAMS
Summer Food + Fun Program
This exciting nutrition toolkit contains the information needed to facilitate the Summer Food and Fun
Program. The program is designed to promote healthy eating habits in children and young adults through
various activities and discussion. This toolkit is not a formal curriculum. It can be used at anytime and in
any order to best suit the needs of the facility and participants. Be creative, have fun and involve your
audience using the tips and resources provided. Remember that children who eat well are children who
do well! Well-nourished children will be able to engage in activities with increased patience and attention
span. When children eat breakfast and lunch, they will be fueled for a day of focused fun. Hungry children
will be distracted, have less patience, and are less likely to participate in activities. Use this toolkit for tips to
help your children enjoy the meals you provide and to learn a bit about healthy choices and trying new foods.
The toolkit is divided into the following sections:
1. Activities
• The activities are designed to guide the students through various important aspects
of food and nutrition in a fun and exciting way.
• Each activity is developed for a young audience but can be modified to accommodate various age
groups. Ideally, the activity should be performed in a group setting where communication and
participation are actively encouraged.
• Located within the activities are instructions and handouts needed to complete each lesson.
Some additional materials may be required.
2. Bulletin Board Displays and Certificate
Includes ideas, templates, and resources for displays and bulletin boards as well as a certificate of
completion to provide to each child at the end of the program. Introduce the certificate on the first day,
and continuously remind students about it throughout the program.
3. Letters
Included in this section are a variety of letters used to inform staff, parents/guardians and participants
about the toolkit and what to expect.
4. Themes, Trips and Resources
Ideas for field trips, various lesson themes, and a book list are provided.
5. References
Here is where you will find useful references used to design the toolkit and an index of the toolkit contents.

Tips for Introducing Foods + Encouraging Healthy Eating
Program staff members are role models and are integral to the success of helping children make healthy
choices. The tips below are to help you and the children and young teens in your program enjoy mealtime
and eat well.
1. Eat with the children and set an example
• Be enthusiastic and positive about the meal.
• Sit down with the children and eat the same meal as them.* Modeling good behavior
is essential for growing young minds.
* Note: sponsors cannot claim reimbursement for meals that are served to individuals 19 and older.
2. Stick to a routine
• Make sure the meals are the same time each day.
• Have a set routine for getting ready to eat and cleaning up. Do not rush while eating.
3. Do not label foods as “bad” or “good”
• The conversation should focus on how foods can help your body grow and run at its best.
• Do not use food as a reward or a disciplinary tool.
4. Be patient with new foods
• Younger children will often touch or smell a new food before trying it. Encourage the children to
talk about the shape, color, and texture of a food.
• Have the children take three small bites of a new food the first time they try it.
• Often, children need repeated exposure to a food before trying it.
5. Reinforce the message through activities and field trips
• Plant a garden.
• Visit a farm or farmers’ market.
• Prepare food with the children.
• Do a taste-testing activity.

Nutrition True or False for Children
True or False
If I drink fruit juice, I still need to eat fruits and vegetables too.
TRUE – Eat more fruit then you drink. Juice can have tons of sugar that can lead to weight gain and cavities
and lacks nutrients that you would get by eating the actual fruit. The fruit that you receive with your meals
will give you nutrients that you need to be healthy. Limit juice to one 8-ounce glass a day.
True or False
Potato chips count as a vegetable because a potato is a vegetable.
FALSE – While potatoes are found in the vegetable group of the Food Pyramid, potato chips are not. Potato
chips are extremely high in fat and should, therefore, only be eaten occasionally. Our lunches give you one
tasty serving from the vegetable group of the Food Pyramid.
True or False
I can skip meals and still have energy to play with my friends.
FALSE – Eating three well-balanced meals a day like the ones you eat here is a great way to get energy.
If you skip meals, you will not get the nutrients your body needs to run, play, and stay awake. Your body
needs all food groups for energy and strength. Our meals give you the right balance of protein,
carbohydrates, and fat to help you play at your best.
True or False
Snacking on cookies and juice at lunch time will give me a ton of energy to last
throughout the day.
FALSE – Snacks like cookies and juice have a lot of sugar that will give you a burst of energy for a short
amount of time. If you want energy that will last the whole day, eat our meals. They are full of nutrients
and minerals that junk food doesn’t have. Our food can give you more energy, make your bones stronger,
and build more muscle.
True or False
I should try to eat a rainbow every day.
TRUE – Fruits and vegetables come in a bunch of different colors like red, purple, green, yellow, and orange.
The more colors of fruits and vegetables that you eat, the more nutrients you will get. Our meals contain
one serving of fruits and vegetables with every meal. Try to see how many colors you can eat each day.

Hosting a Milk Mustache Party is a great way to encourage your children to drink the milk provided at meal
time. Use this party as an opportunity to talk to the kids about drinking milk. Milk has 9 essential nutrients
that will help keep their bodies healthy. For example, calcium can help build stronger bones and teeth and
protein can help maintain children’s lean muscles. Lots of celebrities and athletes pose with milk mustaches
for “Got Milk?” ads and now your kids can too by hosting your own Milk Mustache Party!
www.bodybymilk.com/celebrities.php has photos of celebrities with milk mustaches that you can reference.
Activity
1. Give each child a 3 oz cup full of milk.
2. Have the children drink it so they get a “milk mustache” above their upper lip.

Examples
• Why is drinking milk good for our bodies?
• In what other ways do you use milk? (cereal, hot chocolate, smoothies)
• What foods do you like to eat with a glass of milk?
The pictures taken at this party can be posted around your site. If your program has a webpage and the
children’s guardians have signed photo release forms, you can post the pictures on your webpage. This is
a great way to not only promote your program but also to let the children and their guardians share the
pictures with their friends.

Dear Staff,
Thank you for participating in the Summer Food Service Program which provides free, well-balanced
meals and snacks for children throughout the summer. Children who eat well do better in school,
are more attentive, and are less likely to become sick.
This summer, we will be using the Healthy Eating Toolkit for Summer Food Programs to encourage the
children to try new foods and make healthy food choices. The toolkit includes ideas for field trips,
activities, a list of children’s books about nutrition, and a variety of online resources that you can use
to find additional information and ideas to promote good nutrition.
Some additional ideas of how to make your program fun for the children:
• Invite guests like local chefs, business owners, and farmers to come speak and eat lunch at your
program. See our resource list for more information.
• Include activities that center around healthy eating such as coloring pages and worksheets.
Examples of these can be found in the toolkit.
• Plant a garden at your site. You can use small pots and have each child plant a vegetable to bring
home or you can grow a garden at your site. Organizations that can help you start a garden can
be found within the toolkit.
• Create a cooking club. Once a week, a staff member can work with small groups of children to
help make their own snack. For example, as a group, you can make Yogurt Parfaits by combining
yogurt, low-fat granola cereal, and sliced fruit in a clear cup.
Thank you for being part of the Summer Food Service Program.
We are looking forward to a healthy, happy summer!
Sincerely,

Dear Parent or Guardian,
Your child is participating in the Summer Food Service Program at ________________________. S/he will receive
free, well-balanced meals and snacks throughout the summer. Children who eat healthy do better in school,
are more attentive, and are less likely to become sick. Meals will be served at ___________________________
on ______________________________________ from __________ to __________ .
In addition to the meals provided, we will be using a Healthy Eating Toolkit to teach kids about healthy
food choices and to encourage them to try new foods. As the primary caregiver, we encourage you to
become involved in what your child is eating and learning through the summer food program.
Here are a few ways to help your child enjoy the program and try new foods:
• If possible, eat dinner together as a family.
- Talk about what your child ate during the program each day. If you show excitement
towards the meals, they will be more willing to eat them
- Ask them what new foods they tried and keep a list on the refrigerator
• Choose items or recipes that they liked and that you could make together at home.
• Check out the websites below for fun recipe ideas and nutrition information.

Again, we want to thank you for being part of the Summer Food Service Program. If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me, ________________________ at ________________________ or email

• For children 6th grade and older, try The Right to Food: A Window on the World. This comic
book/story book is designed by children for children about the right of every human being to
be free from hunger. Each story focuses on different social and environmental issues surrounding
the right to food faced by people in different countries around the world. This resource can be
found online! http://www.feedingminds.org/info/info_cartoon.htm
• For children 5th grade and younger, identify foods eaten in different cultures. For example,
read Everybody Cooks Rice (see Recommended Books in this section) and talk about other foods
different cultures have in common. For example, make a list of fruits and vegetables popular
in different cultures.
Physical Activity Theme: Teach the children about the importance of being active by playing a different
game each day.
• Some games could be kickball, basketball, baseball, jump rope, freeze-dance or even an obstacle course.
• Encourage the children to come dressed in active clothing.
Garden Theme: Explore how things grow while having fun.
• Paint flower pots on Monday, plant seeds on Tuesday, and let the kids take them home.
If flower pots are not available try using paper cups.
• Make tissue paper flowers as a craft.
• Try eating snacks that grow in a garden like fruits and vegetables.
• Contact organizations like Growing Connection to come to your program and help you start your
