The gamification of food is experimented with, mainly for recreational purposes. But it could also be used to achieve a different goal. In this work, an approach to motivating children to eat and like vegetables more is explored. First, the basic perception of vegetables by children is examined and various ideas for games are explored with Cooperative Inquiry. These can be grouped into three categories: building, challenge and randomness. Possible prototypes have been discussed in form of text. A building game has been tested and it had a positive effect on the perception of vegetables of the participating children. However, only few children were available to work with, making further studies necessary.}, language = {en} }
