The Grab 5! Action Pack Ideas Bank outlines a range of practical activities that schools can carry out to encourage the consumption of fruit and vegetables amongst their children and staff. Lots of practical tips and links to useful contacts and additional educational materials are given. The practical activities include:

  • Ideas bank 1: Change the rules!
  • Ideas bank 2: Change the lunch menu
  • Ideas bank 3: Have a big breakfast!
  • Ideas bank 4: Set up a fruit tuck shop
  • Ideas bank 5: Tickle your taste buds!
  • Ideas bank 6: Be farmers for the day!
  • Ideas bank 7: Get shopping!
  • Ideas bank 8: Get cooking!
  • Ideas bank 9: Grow your own!
  • Ideas bank 10: Have a special event
  • Ideas bank 11: Start a food club
  • Ideas bank 12: Run a playground market

Where ever possible these activities should be linked to curriculum work to ensure that the healthy eating message is continually reinforced and consistent. The following activities show in more detail how links can be made to various elements of the curriculum.
