Carter County is a rural county with 27,144 people living in it, with limited activities for teens having limited transportation.  Twenty-two percent of the county live in or below poverty, and for thirty one percent of the county, transportation is an issue.  

            The Carter County Nutrition Education Program (NEP) Assistant worked with local youth at West Carter Middle School, the youth were taught a nutrition lesson and played a physical fitness game with dice.They roll two big dice, one tells them which physical activity they will do, and the other tells them how many of the activity that they will be doing.

            The group thought it would be fun to make a game out of it.   They divided into two groups and competed against each other.  One student said they had so much fun, they wanted to make a set for at home so they could play increase their physical activity in the evenings with their neighbor friends.
