UNDERSTANDING YOUR FOOD the ultimate educational resource TEACHER NOTES teachers’ notes I 1.1 KS3 and upwards science and food technology Timing - various I1. Food ingredient card games There are 52 playing cards which have information on them about a variety of foods. On one side (the face side), the cards show the amounts of energy,protein,fat,carbohydrate, calcium, iron and vitamin C contained in 100g of the foodstuff. The back of the card merely has the name of the food. Since the information given is for the same mass of food, fair comparisons can be made. It is important to remember, however, that 100g may not represent a 'normal' portion of that particular food. Please note-the values for energy have been rounded up or down to make them easier to compare. Conversion from kcal and kJ has been simplified to a factor of 4.In some games, having the name of the food on the back of the card will give players, with knowledge of that food, an advantage over their opponents. Hopefully, this will motivate pupils to acquire useful and relevant information. The rules for some of the many games that can be played are given below. It is likely that you, or your students, will devise more games and variations as the cards are used. Eight I1 master sheets for the playing cards accompany these activities. They should be photocopied onto card. The corresponding food name should be stuck or written onto the reverse side and then the cards cut out. There are blank cards, should you wish to add other foods. The information on the cards is adapted from theMAFFManual of Nutrition (HMSO publication ISBN 011 2411126). Strictly: 1 kcal = 4.2 KJ Energy pontoon Aim: with 2 - 5 cards gain an energy score as close to the limit of 1000 kcal or 4000 kJ as possible without going 'bust'. The player is allowed a maximum of 5 cards. Game 1a. The dealer shuffles the cards and deals alternately two cardsface downto a player/players and two to the dealer. The first player to be dealt the cards goes first. (S)he adds up openly the kcal or kJ for the two cards and then decides whether to 'twist'. The player should look at thebackof the next card in the pile so that an educated guesscan be made as to whether or not taking the next card would keep the score below the limit. If the player decides to twist, the next card is dealtface upwardsfor all the players to see. The player keeps 'twisting' until: • the player thinks that the next card would take them over the limit and then sticks. • or, until they unintentionally go over the limit, when the player is 'bust' and out of the game. The next player(s) then take a turn. The dealer is the last person to go.Allof the dealers' cards are placed face upwards and the dealer then plays in the same way as other players. Energy pontoon Game 1a. 2 - 4 players simplest version Twist: player takes another card Stick: player takes no more cards Bust: score is more than 1000kcal/4200kJ and the player is out. The winner is the person who is not 'bust' and whose total is the nearest to 1000kcal/4000kJ. A '5-card trick' beats any other hand. If anyone ties with the dealer, the dealer wins. The winner becomes the dealer. teachers’ notes I 1.2 Game 1b. A 'blind' version The dealer deals two cardsface downto each player . Player 1 has toestimatethe energy value fromthe back of the cards only. Player 1 is allowed to see thebackof the next card on the pile and must decide whether to twist or not from the name of the next food and the information on thebackof the original two cards. If the player decides to twist, the next card is dealt but still only with the back facing. The player sticks when they feel their limit is reached. Playersdo notlook at the value of the cards yet. Player 2 then has a turn in a similar way. When each player has stuck, the value of the cards is added up. The winner is decided as described before. Game 2a for 2 - 6 players simplest version The person winning the greatest number of tricks is the winner. If the second player does not think that they have a card to beat the original card, they can throw away a low value card. Two cards played which happen to have the same value for the category results in a void trick and the trick is discarded. Food whist Game 2a. Onlyoneof the categories of information on the cards is used. If the players use the 'fat' category then the winner has thelowestvalue. If the other categories have been chosen, the winner has thehighestvalue. The aim is to wintricks. For example, using theproteincategory; imagine there are 2 players. Shuffle the cards. 7cards are dealtface downto each player. The players pick up their cards to look at protein values. The first player chooses a card from his/her hand and places itface downon the desk. The second player looks at the name of the food and then at their own hand. They choose a card to play, making aneducated guessas to which of their cards may beat the protein value of the card that was played initially. The second card is placed with the original card and then both cards are examined. The winner of the trick is the person who played the card with the highest protein value. These cards are removed, ready to play the next trick. The winner of the trick leads the next card. The game continues until all 7 tricks have been played. Game 2b for 2 - 4 players Game 2b. A 'knock-out' version The rules to win a trick are the same as above, but the game is played with the following modifications: First round:energy valuesare compared. The player to the left of the dealer goes first and places a cardface downin front of the players. The next player plays a card which they think may beat the energy value of the original card (or they 'throw away' a card) by placing the cardface downnext to the original card. teachers’ notes I 1.3 Other players play cards in a similar way. When each player has played, the cards are turned over to find the card with the greatest energy value. The player of this card is the winner of that trick and begins the next trick in the same way as the first. Tricks are played for all 7 cards. The person who wins the greatest number of tricks in this round becomes the dealer. Second round: the winner of the first round deals6cards to the players. The winner looks at his/her hand and decides which category (s)he wants as the category for comparison and declares this. The game continues as before until six cards have been played. The person who wins the greatest number of tricks becomes the dealer. The game continues with5then4then3, 2, 1cards being dealt in subsequent rounds. In each case, the person who wins the greatest number of tricks in the previous round becomes the dealer and choses the category for comparison. Game 2c. The game is as above, but with only one 7 card round played as follows: first trick - energy values second - protein third - fat (lowestvalue wins) fourth - carbohydrate fifth - calcium sixth - iron the seventh - vitamin C. A 'thinking' period after the cards are dealt, for players to decide which card to play for each trick, will be helpful. Decisions may be altered in the light of the outcomes of previous tricks. Game 3. "My card can beat yours"(similar to 'Top trumps') The cards are shuffled. Allof the cards are dealt equally to the two players. Each player holds all of their cards in a pile with the information on the first card only facing them. The player who wasnotthe dealer goes first. (S)he looks at the information on the first card and decides which of the categories has a possible 'winning' value. The player declares'energy'and thenameof the food at which (s)he is looking. The second player looks at theenergycategory on their first card and reads out the value. The person who has the card with the greatest value wins both cards and puts them on a pile in front of them. Whoever wins the cards looks at their next card to choose the category, and the game continues until all cards have been compared. The cards in the winning piles for each player are counted. The person with the greatest number of cards is the winner. If two people win the same number of tricks, they cut the cards. The person with the greatest energy value on their card is the winner. This is the procedure for any round that ends in a tie. Remember - the category for the first round is energy; subsequent categories are chosen by the dealer; the categorycannotbe changed in the middle of a round. Game 2c. 2 players requires thought! The player who wins the most tricks is the winner. Game 3. 2 players Example, if they are looking at the 'Chips' card they might decide that an energy value of 250 kcal (1000 kJ) has a good chance of beating many other cards in this category. pupil
