About YiYO

The YiYO® card games are interactive health literacy tools that teachers can use to support classroom discussions around energy balance and lifestyle. In both games, players learn how much energy they are recommended to consume each day, based on their age and gender, and find out how their body uses that energy.

The YiYO food (Yi) cards have been developed by a team of credentialed Dietitians and represent the best clinical data available. The physical activity (YO) cards have been researched and compiled by accredited Physical Therapists. The games align with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) - Australian Healthy Eating Guidelines. The YiYO games promote nutritional quality NOT 'kilojoule / calorie counting'.
