What Is it All About?
Every Friday, students are encouraged to bring a piece of fruit for snack and/or lunch.
Why Do It?
Eating fruit is an important part of healthy eating, and making an event of bringing it — say every Friday — helps make it fun.
How Do We Do It?
Students bring a piece of fruit every Friday to eat during lunch and/or snack.
Consider tracking quantities and types of fruit eaten by the class each week over the course of a month.
Teachers can report back their classes’ fruit choices through an online form or on a bulletin board tracking sheet.
Consider providing fruit-based healthy snacks to keep the activity accessible for all students.
What Else Do We Need?
- Paper
- Writing utensils
- Or another method for recording
How Do We Get Creative?
Connect with local community chefs or restaurants to donate or provide recipes for healthy, fruit-based snacks.
Invite parents to support the tracking of the fruit-based snacks.
Encourage classes to share their favourite healthy snacks that focus on fruit through social media using a challenge hashtag.
