From Family Fun magazine:

1. Think Outside the Box
flout tradition and intrigue your kids in the process: freeze fresh berries, grapes and melon balls on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet, then create the world's coolest fruit salad. Or fill a wafer cone with fruit and vanilla yogurt and top it with granola.

2. Play the Name Game
the children's health site, Kidnetic.com has clever suggestions for encouraging families to get their 5-a-say. Our favorite: take your kids grocery shopping and ask them to find produce with unusual names. (Kohlrabi or ugli fruit, anyone?). Then bring it home and dare everyone to try it.

3. Use a Checklist
Offer kids a way to record their journeys of discovery through the brave new world of fruits and veggies. At justrun.org (click on "JUST Taste!"), kids can download a checklist of 100 good-for-you foods, from apples to wolfberries, then print a certificate of achievement for each new one they try.

4. Chart Consumption
to help their kids keep track of what they're eating, the Shericks of Kettering, Ohio hand a chart on their fridge. "There are five circles on it for each of our three children," says mom Tess. "Every time they eat a fruit or vegetable, they color one in. We also talk about serving sizes and what counts as a fruit or veggie."

5. Get Creative
Who says you can't play with your food? In the game Veggie Hangman, kids write their letter guesses on crackers with squeezable cheese, and create a hangman with vegetables. After each round, players eat their words - and their vegetables.
