What Is Your Goal?
Students reflect on the food choices they make and why they make them, and based on their observations create a goal for improvement. With this goal in mind, they create a poster that encourages others to eat healthier or keep eating healthy.
Healthy Eating around School
Healthy eating can be tough to achieve when many of the foods available around you do not promote health. Students explore the various places food is available in and around the school community and ways to promote healthier food options.

Every Friday, students are encouraged to bring a piece of fruit for snack and/or lunch.

Write About It
Students write a blog post or zine-style article reporting on the topic of healthy eating in a fun and creative way.

Promoting Healthy Eating
With your team, investigate credible messages about healthy eating that you’ve learned or already know, and then create and implement a promotional strategy to share one of those messages.
Class Fruit and Veggie Challenge
Students and teachers keep track of their daily vegetable and fruit consumption during the school day and compare the group’s results to that of Canada’s Food Guide.
