Help pupils choose healthier snacks with our new resources.
Did you know that children are eating three times more sugar than they should, with 50% of this sugar coming from unhealthy snacks and sugary drinks?
That's why Change4Life is helping families choose healthier snacks. We've created a set of digital, curriculum-linked resources for schools to help pupils learn about choosing healthier snacks, as well as a take-home leaflet to get the message home too.
Explore our new range of activities, from our first ever school council toolkit to our new game show-style PowerPoint titled 'The Healthier Snacking Show', complete with sound effects. The game show is designed to be used as a pupil-led assembly or performance and the resources are tailored for Reception, Key Stage 1 and upper and lower Key Stage 2.
"This is really engaging and relevant content, particularly the game show resource. Children will love the competitive nature of this! All activities involve getting the pupils talking, rather than just the teacher talking - something schools strive for in all lessons.”
Rachel Armstrong, Teacher at Isleworth Town Primary School
Send home the Family Snack Challenge
This January, if your school is part of the School Fruit and Veg scheme, you will receive a box of Family Snack Challenge leaflets for pupils to take home and share with their families.
Remind pupils to put the leaflets in their book bags, stick the challenge on the fridge and try the 7-day challenge at home.
