Nutrition Education Cards and Circle Charts
Two Education Aids to Help Staff Start the Dialogue
Cards
The cards display several health-related topics relevant to the participant’s specific category. Staff may use these cards to determine a participant’s topic of interest. The staff person asks the participant to choose a card with a topic she/he is interested in discussing. A card with “I’d rather talk about _____” is included for participants who have a different topic of concern.
The content on the back of each card includes opening question(s), relevant facts, and handouts related to the topic. Staff may limit the choice of topics offered to a participant by removing cards from the stack.
Circle Charts
The circle charts have the same topics and content as the cards, but in a different format--all topic choices are displayed on one page.
