In the beginning of the book, the woman talks about the water source they had in Arizona. The books states that since the main water source was virtually disappearing, that they had to get a new one. Once turned on, people of Arizona were encouraged to drink it, but dont put it in fish bowls, because it would kill the fish. Now, I dont know about you, but I wouldnt want to have anything to do with that foul water! We could possibly create a game that teaches about different water sources, determines the pros and cons of those sources and then make it fun, but having the student dictate the water flow or something like that.
Another game could be based on the different healthy food groups. Most students learn about the different food groups from boring books and the same pictures over and over. Why not interact with them? Perhaps the students could learn about different grains, and vegeatbles and fruits and meats, and put them in the different groups. Although this may be an easy game, it will reiterate where the foods go, and why they are so important.

I really like your idea about water. Kind of off from the book's main content, but I bet you could find a lot to research. You know that right outside of Shepherdstown there is the Fresh Water Institute? Their web site is http://www.freshwaterinstitute.org/ . Maybe it can give you some cool ideas. I visited there once, and have a friend that works there.
