Spot added sugar in ingredients, read the label, and scoop grams into teaspoons.
Added Sugar Sleuth teaches kids the difference between sugar that is naturally in food and sugar the maker adds. Players tap every added-sugar name in an ingredient list — like dextrose, corn syrup or fruit juice concentrate — while fruit and milk sugars stay natural. They split a bar of 1-gram blocks into natural and added using the "Includes Xg Added Sugars" line on a real-style Nutrition Facts label, scoop 4-gram teaspoons into a glass to match it, and stack servings up to the 25 g daily limit for kids. Wrong answers name the rule, such as "natural = total − added" or "4 g = 1 teaspoon". Best for Grades 2–6.
