Part of the SNAP-Ed Strategies & Interventions Toolkit.* Nutrition education program designed to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables and increase physical activity through direct education and PSE level intervention. Go Wild can be used in curriculum for 3rd through 5th grade, and the social-ecological model to most effectively influence food and physical activity behaviors. Go Wild with Fruits & Veggies! is designed to involve students in active learning. * The engaging flip book or presentation is used to share information and guide discussion. * Lessons are organized by fruit and vegetable colors. * The cartoon animal character for each lesson models behavior through a story and is interwoven throughout activities. * Lessons include games, music, dance, tasting opportunities, and other activities. This helps stimulate all five senses and keeps students engaged throughout the whole lesson.
