Kids Food Safety Wheel Questions
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.
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.
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.
- The key to success in this game is making sure your sponge does not run out of
bleach solution - make sure to refill often!
