"As you all know, there are many forces that lure us into to eating large quantities of high fat, low fiber foods. Things like an uncontrollable Chocolate Craving or Slurpie Withdrawal Syndrome can all take their toll on good eating intentions."

Identify two students to be Chocolate Craving and Slurpie Syndrome. Their job is to attack the Energizers with the latest in junk food delights (gator skin balls thrown to contact the Energizers below the knees). Once they are hit, the Energizers drop their beanbag and become Junk Food. Any other Junk Food can pick up the beanbag, be transformed into an Energizer, and continue the quest of turning Junk Food to frozen Veggies.

Allow the students to catch on to this variation, then continue the story again.

"Chocolate Craving and Slurpie Syndrome have enemies too. They can be neutralized by the Nutrition Master who is armed with vitamins and minerals (a nerf ball, or different coloured gator ball)."

Identify a student to be the Nutrition Master. If Chocolate Craving and Slurpie Syndrome are hit below the knees they must drop their ball, and become just regular Junk Food again. Any other Junk Food can pick up the ball and become Chocolate Craving or Nutrition Master and continue the attack on the Energizers.

Students will come up with their own variations for this game, and can be given the opportunity for input into the names, roles and consequences of the story line. Size of group and ability will determine the number of additions you can make.
