In 2016, the National Peanut Board, Georgia Peanut Commission, Florida Peanut Producers, Alabama Peanut Producers Association, Virginia-Carolina Peanut Promotions, Southern Peanut Growers and American Peanut Council launched the online peanut learning game, Operation Peanut Butter as part of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture’s (AFBFA) My American Farm games.
Recently, AFBFA released the My American Farm STEM mobile app for four of its My American Farm games. Operation Peanut Butter is included in the app lineup and corresponds to the STEM component for math; other available farm games on the STEM app are: Keys to Stewardship (science); The Great Seed Search (technology); and Thrive (engineering). All mobile games meet the national educational standards.
The My American Farm STEM app can be downloaded for free from the iPhone App Store, Google Play, or Amazon Appstore for Android
Games in the STEM app are ideal for students in grades three to five. In Operation Peanut Butter, players follow peanuts from the field to the peanut butter on their sandwiches, calculating acreage and yields all along the way. At the end, students visit an online food bank database and challenge friends to join them in donating a jar of peanut butter to their local food bank.
