Promoting nutrition literacy through appropriate games for school-aged children is a key principle that helps revitalize learning at this age. The purpose of this research is to develop board games to be learning media on nutrition related to the value of fruits and vegetables. Game outcomes created by three experts were assessed, and game satisfaction was assessed using a satisfaction questionnaire among elementary school-aged children in grades 4-6 (n = 30).
The results of the study found that the game has an average expert rating of 16 out of 20. Satisfaction after playing the game among 18 male and 12 female students was 13.5 points (90%), with the highest scores being game enjoyment (100%), game aesthetics (97%), overall game preference (93%), game duration (87%), and game ease (73%), respectively. School-aged children are highly satisfied with the game. This fruit and vegetable wonderland board game can be used as an educational material suitable for children and may help increase the nutritional knowledge of fruits and vegetables in school-age children effectively.
