Kids Food Safety Wheel Questions
Safe Temperature Game
The Safe Temperature Game is designed to raise awareness about cooking food to safe temperatures. You need to cook food to temperatures that are high enough to destroy bacteria, viruses and parasites that may naturally be present in some foods. A food thermometer lets you check the internal temperature of a food to find out if it is cooked properly. Using a food thermometer can help you prevent foodborne illness. Different types of food need to be cooked to different temperatures and this game will help you remember the safe cooking temperatures for several of your favourite foods.
  • The key to success in this game is to click on the thermometers as soon as they reach the proper cooking temperature.
Safe Meal Preparation Game
The Safe Meal Preparation Game is designed to help you remember the steps to follow when preparing a meal. You will learn the four key key steps in handling and preparing food safely - clean, cook, chill, and separate. By following these steps, you can avoid foodborne illness and keep your kitchen, refrigerator and counters clean and safe.
  • The key to success in this game is to read the clues - although the last 2 steps could be performed in either order, the game recommends cleaning your kitchen counters before putting your food in the refrigerator.
  • If you have tried this game a few times and are having trouble, e-mail us for some helpful hints.
Clean the Counter Game
The Clean the Counter Game is designed to show the importance of cleaning and disinfecting your kitchen counters, sinks and food preparation areas. You will learn about the different types of bacteria that cause foodborne illness. You will also learn the proper way to disinfect your kitchen in order to kill these bacteria and avoid foodborne illness.
