Food for Health–Rhymes–Chestnut-120/365
Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kid’s love for diverse foods in a fun and engaging way
Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts both their health and the planet’s biodiversity, we propose to foster a love for diverse foods through the universal language of music. We created nursery rhymes each featuring a different food item, set to familiar tunes. We hope these rhymes will not only educate children about the nutritional benefits of various foods but also stimulate demand for diverse crops, ultimately contributing to biodiversity.
This initiative promises a fun, engaging way to cultivate healthier habits in children while safeguarding our planet.
Chestnut: Round and sweet, a roasty treat, making taste buds dance and feet!
Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”
🎵 Chestnut, sweet, falls from up high.
A tasty treat for you and I.
Roasted or boiled — scent in the air.
Fiber, minerals — a healthy fare.
🎵 Vitamins and antioxidants, too,
Chestnut’s gift for me and you.
Increases heart and immunity might.
Helps us grow to our full height.
🎵 Low in calories — keeps weight stable.
Boosts energy without a sugary table.
Muscles strong, magnesium’s grace,
Folate’s growth in every place.
🎵 Chilly day’s warmth it gives to you.
Goodness abounds in every chew.
Taste it with joy — a tropical delight.
Embrace its goodness day or night. 🎵
