This 90-minute teambuilding activity benefits local school children or children associated with an organization dedicated to children such as Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, or another organization in the local community. First, teams swap and negotiate to acquire Food Calorie cards in each of the U.S. Department of Agriculture “MyPlate” guideline food categories. Next, teams get moving by taking part in a fast-pace “Corporate Field Day to accomplish different tasks (with on-site beneficiary children whenever possible). Teams earn their Calorie Burn activity cards highlighting the number calories expended. Teams must try to subtract “Calories Burned” from their “Food Calorie” Cards. The team with the least amount of calories is the winner. However, the real winners are the children benefitting from these hands-on recreational kits assembled by the Teams! Together we can tackle childhood obesity!
