Dear Donna,

I created a nutrition bingo for a class of older adults a couple of years
ago.  It was simple to create the cards and the markers on the computer
using short words or clip art.  Basically, I determined what I wanted people
to learn and I fit the game around those topics.  The game went over really
well - especially when the participants realized they would win fun prizes.

For example:  Question: What food is high in calcium? Answer on the card:
picture of a milk carton

For difficult questions you might add a hint.  Such as: It goes well with
cereal or a brownie.

Hope this helps,
Mondi
