Fruit and vegetables are always the best choice, but if you're shopping for packaged snacks for your children, use this helpful tip: look for 100 calorie snacks, two a day max!

Make a swap when you next shop

With 34% of children leaving primary school overweight, this campaign, “make a swap when you next shop”, encourages families to cut back on sugar. To complement the national campaign, which has been in the media spotlight, interactive lesson plans have been created in partnership with teachers, qualified nutritionists and dental professionals. These English and Maths teaching resources support teachers to educate pupils about how much sugar is in their everyday food and drink, and to empower them to make healthier choices.

The resources are set in ‘Sugar Smart World’ and teach pupils that the number of extra sugar cubes they are consuming is enough to wrap around the world more than three and a half times. A cartoon- themed Science lesson plan also helps pupils understand the effects that sugar has on their teeth. Share these free resources with your networks to help tackle childhood obesity.

Resources include:English lesson plan PowerPoints and worksheets, including songs and a poster, comic strip and persuasive letter template for children aged 5 to 11 years old (school years 1 to 6)
