Kids Balanced Plate Scavenger Hunt:

Seek, discover, taste, and win! Kids had fun exploring the Kids Food Festival in efforts to create the perfectly balanced meal! Participants received a Balanced Plate Scavenger Hunt activity card (based on the USDA ChooseMyPlate.gov guidelines) and bounce from kiosk to kiosk, engaging in exciting activities and sampling family-friendly foods – while also learning about the importance of achieving balance in their food choices. At each stop they received a food-themed stamp and were rewarded (with an amazingly tasty goody bag full of featured products and samples) when they balanced their plate correctly.
