Split in to two teams. The dealer will draw the first card, each team needs to try and guess the calorie count in that food item. The dealer will reveal the answer and whichever team was the closest gets to start.
The dealer will then in turn flip each car revealing a new food item. Each team needs to guess whether the calorie count is higher or lower than the previous card. Every correct answer will earn that team a point. The team keep going until they get one wrong and it the switches to the other team.
The game finishes when all the cards have been revealed and the team with the most points win. Alternatively you could ask the learner to stand up for higher or sit down for lower!
