Get the Glass is a game produced by the California Milk Processor Board. Obviously, the game is designed to promote milk consumption. The game takes students on a journey with the milk-deprived Adachi family as they try to break into "Fort Fridge" where they will find an unlimited supply of milk. Throughout the game students will learn about the benefits of drinking milk and making healthy beverage choices. Applications for Education Get the Glass could be a fun and educational game for elementary school and middle school health classes. The game could be used as an individual learning experience for students that finish other health class assignments before their peers. Get the Glass could also be a fun way to introduce a nutrition lesson.
