The FSA has several sources of educational material to help school children learn about healthy eating and safer food preparation. For example, 5-a-day the Bash Street Way provides primary school teachers with materials, advice and suggestions to help give pupils aged 7 to 11 (Key Stage 2 or P7 in Scotland) greater opportunities both to learn about and have access to fruit and vegetable choices. There are also details of how these materials fit with the school curriculum.
The 'Bad Food Live!' video demonstrates how to guard against food poisoning and is available free with teacher support material to all schools.
FSA Wales has developed interactive games about healthy eating and food safety, which are suitable for children aged 5 to 11. There is also (External) 'Gimme 5!' which features interactive computer games and screensavers aimed at girls and boys aged 11 to 14 years.
Dish it up! is an interactive learning CD-ROM aimed at 11 to 12 year olds, which has been sent to every secondary school in the UK. The CD-ROM contains games and quizzes designed to encourage young people to eat more healthily.
Details of all these materials are on the FSA website and in the Educational links section, which also provides nutrition advice for people at different life stages, including teenagers, and information on our work on school lunchboxes.
