The Eating Game^TM, based on Canada’s Food Guide, is the ideal starting point for making healthy food choices. With assistance from those who prepare household meals, The Eating Game^TM helps you create a plan for what will be eaten throughout every day.

Using pictures and Daily Planning Sheets, you can be ensured of having lots of choice from a wide variety of healthy foods.

No reading ability is required as pictures are matched using a simple system of color coding. And new foods can be added at any time! Included are suggestions for how to use, modify and extend the use of the book/kit to maximize its effectiveness.

While The Eating Game^TM was initially developed to address the nutritional challenges faced by many children with Autism, it is also being used by many others who need support to make healthy food choices: picky eaters, those on selective or restricted diets, adults in group homes or assisted living situations who are striving to be more independent, those with communication challenges who benefit from visual supports, families wanting to develop healthy diets, schools/preschools teaching about good nutrition and those with compulsive eating disorders obsessed with eating.

Regardless of who is using The Eating Game^TM, as with efforts to change any behaviors, it is imperative to be consistent and persistent in its daily use. To be most effective might require some modifications to include the use of strategies/reinforcers that are known to ensure optimum success.

Each kit comes with a total of 5 planning sheets: 2-3 years 4 - 8 years 9 - 13 years Female 14 - 18 years Male 14 - 18 years Each Kit has over 200 food pictures, that are laminated and have Velcro buttons so they will adhere to the planning sheets.

The Eating Game^TM uses original artwork, over 200 food pictures, by artist Jenny Gilmore (Sun Rae Framing and Artwork, Truro, NS). We have added some new pictures as requested by customers. We encourage you to do this if there are pictures you would like to have.

We now have two new editions, French and Mi'kmaw. The French Edition is a complete translation of text and pictures. The Mi'kmaw Edition only has the picture words translated, with introductory text in English. When ordering please specify the edition desired.

If you need a second copy of The Eating Game^TM, you can purchase a Part Book consisting of 2 charts of your choice and the pictures with a binder. This may be ideal for a second child in your family or for a client who has borrowed a book and now needs one of their own to keep.
