Teachers
Welcome to the education section of the Birds Eye website. This information has been designed to assist teachers to educate students about the benefits of eating more vegetables and fish. Following are some lesson and activity ideas to encourage your students to make healthy decisions regarding good nutrition and their every-day diets. Students will discover many simple ways to integrate more vegetables and fish into their diets, and the difference these foods can make to their energy levels and overall health. As well as vegetables and fish, it is also important that students include foods from the other food groups (dairy, fruit, other proteins such as meat and legumes, breads and cereals).
Students will be encouraged to discover more about the nutrients found in vegetables and fish and to broaden the variety of foods they are willing to try. A number of at-home activities are also provided to encourage students to share their experiences with their families and create healthy eating plans together.
The following lesson and activity ideas are designed to be adapted to a range of age groups and abilities. The lesson ideas and activities complement the Birds Eye website and many of the activities link directly to downloadable and printable activity sheets.
