Food for Health–Rhymes–Rice-152/365
Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kids’ 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.
Rice: Grains so light, a dish’s delight, they make every meal bright!
Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”
🎵 Rice, rice, rice is nice,
Tiny, white, and round,
Fills us up with energy,
Keeps us strong and sound.🎵
🎵 Full of healthy carbs we need,
Gives us power to play,
Rice helps make our muscles grow,
Each and every day.🎵
🎵 Gentle on our little tummies,
Gluten-free and kind,
Rice is packed with vitamins,
To nourish every mind.🎵
🎵 With minerals like iron inside,
And fiber too, so neat,
Rice helps our bodies stay so strong,
It’s the perfect treat!🎵
