FOOD & NUTRITION PROJECT OPPORTUNITIES

Family & Community Health Quiz Bowl (similar to Jeopardy)

A “Quiz Bowl” is a quiz game that tests teams of 3-4 members on their knowledge of basic nutrition, consumer information, food and kitchen safety, food preparation skills and storage, and health. Up against the clock, the 4-Hers buzz in to answer a question and earn points for correct answers. Teams advance in a tournament-system bracket to win the competition. The contest will cover materials found in Food & Nutrition Healthy Lifestyles Invitational Consumer Decision Making. 

Food Show

Available to 1st-12th grade 4H members At the Food Show you choose a recipe from the contest categories and then prepare and present it to a panel of judges. During your interview with the judges, you will show how you prepared it, the nutrients and ingredients, personal dietary needs, healthy substitutions, and a cost analysis. Each member will enter one recipe into the County Food Show.

Food Challenge

At the Food Challenge, teams of 3-4 students receive a list of ingredients and have 40 minutes to create a dish. The teams then present their dish to judges are scored on preparation, serving size, food safety concerns, and nutritional value.
