The teaching of nutrition education in the elementary school classrooms in Thailand is predominantly book-based. It can be dry and boring. Therefore, an educational card game called Food Mission is developed to teach elementary school students basic nutrition concepts. This paper explores the perceptions of educational experts, postgraduate students, an elementary science teacher and Grade 6students’ responses towards Food Mission educational card game in teaching nutrition education in the classroom. The research participants were two educational experts, eleven postgraduate students, one elementary science teacher and 45 Grade 6 students from a private school in Samut Sakorn Province, Thailand.

Ferret Foodie is an improved version of the Food Mission nutritional card game for elementary school students in Thailand. The design of this card game is very colorful, attractive and appealing to the elementary school students. The game can be played in six different variations with the varying degrees of challenges. Three postgraduate students test-played and validated the card game playability. Two elementary school teachers from a private elementary school in Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand, validated the content and playability of the card game. 142 six graders then participated in the study. Classroom observations and interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. A simple questionnaire was administered to the students to gage their response towards the Ferret Foodie card game. The results show that the postgraduate students felt that the Ferret Food card game was age appropriate and was a good way to encourage the students to use simple English language. The elementary school science teachers became more confident in using card games in the classroom.

Background. The latest Japanese National Curriculum emphasized the importance of active learning as well as communication skills in various subject areas. Following this trend, the social skills education (SSE) approach was adopted to promote and improve skills that facilitate interpersonal conflict resolution in elementary school students. Aim. This study developed a card game to help elementary school teachers perform SSE. The aims were to convince students to contemplate alternative solutions to problems in a way that incorporates suggestions from other students and to motivate children to think about problem solving in a social context. Methods. Our card game was developed based on Matsuda’s warp and woof model of problem-solving that emphasizes generating ideas concerning trade-off resolution in problem-solving. We then tested the game in a sample of 74 fourth grade (9-10 years old) elementary school students. Results. The findings suggest that the students understood the importance of considering new alternatives for trade-off resolution by playing our game. Conclusions. Despite the limitations of our study, such as the small sample size, our findings demonstrated that the game was successful in teaching most students the necessity of reaching a consensus in situations involving conflicting opinions.
