ABSTRACT:
A fitness and nutrition education game apparatus and method of play. The game apparatus includes a playing board having a playing path defined by a plurality of contiguous spaces; a set of playing pieces that are separate representations of an obese body image, a chubby body image and a slim body image; a die; a first plurality of playing cards each having printed thereon a first question of moderate difficulty about nutrution, diet, exercise and fitness and the corresponding answer; and a second plurality of playing cards each having printed thereon a second question of advanced difficulty about nutrition, diet, exercise and fitness and the corresponding answer.
Play is conducted by advancing the playing piece along the playing path for the number of spaces determined by a throw of the die. Player directives marked on the contiguous spaces further determine the number of spaces and direction that a playing piece advances. When a playing piece lands on a space having a player directive to select and answer a first question about nutrition, diet, exercise and fitness, the playing piece can be advanced only by correctly answering the question. When a playing piece lands on a space having a player directive to select and answer a second question about nutrition, diet, exercise and fitness and the player correctly answers the second question, a body image can be exchanged for a more fit body image and the player can advance the playing piece.
