Vegetable Memory Photos Students will bring in photos 3X3 inch photos of vegetables in the growing state and as it is eaten, “real food”. They will post on the board and there are no duplicates. Once the cards are developed they become a memory game. Everyone in the room must play the game during the week. As they play they must label the vegetable and description of how it grows and how we might eat it (raw, salad, steamed) as real food. This strategy was created by Brooke Dionisio, Student Teacher, The Ohio State University
Vegetable Memory Card Game The Vegetable Memory Game was produced by Brooke Scheiderer, FCS ED student The Ohio State University
