has 10 members. Each group will be given a garter. Let them
form a line. The game master will raise pictures of food and the
students will identify the nutrient derived from food shown. The
first member will wear the garter from head and take off to toe.
He/ she will pass the garter to the next member. The 10th
member (last) will run toward the game master and whisper the
