The creative theme for this year is “the veg are taking over the world” which we have supported with recipes, lesson plans and assets to celebrate the wonderful global diversity of food in your school menus and the homes of your families. We hope you have fun with it.
If your school does not have access to our physical resources, then it is still possible to join the Eat Them to Defeat Them fun and help your kids to gobble down more veg with the digital resources below.
1
Lesson Plans
To support the campaign in class we have created a series of curriculum-compliant and teacher-friendly lesson plans, adaptable across Reception/P1 to Year 4/P5, with the theme “Exploring food from around the world”.

Reward Chart
Reward charts help parents and carers to encourage positive habits – such as eating broccoli. To get the most from these charts please print these out and send one home with each child and use your digital channels to point parents towards this website for more information.

Meal Themes
This year we have created 10 meal themes – each one is a “recipe” to turn a regular favourite school catering dish into an adventure. Each has a fun name, a catchphrase, a story and a recommended recipe.

Information for families
Please download and share with your parents and carers this super simple guide to the campaign. This will help build excitement and empower parents and carers to maximise the lasting effect – getting their kids eating more veg.

Social Media Toolkit
Our campaign is about everyone coming together – parents, carers, catering teams, schools, local government, nutritionists etc. – to help get our kids eating more veg. Social media is where that community meets to support and inspire each other.
Please read our social media toolkit for all the dates, hashtags, a few ideas and a link to resources to support you on social.
