Vegetables in the classroom

Have you ever thought about incorporating salads into the classroom? Here are some ideas for activities to share with your classmates:

1. Your class could like us on Facebook

2. Share a 'salad story' about what your class can do with salads and vegetables, for example:

• News about your school garden or window sill project with vegetables
• What salads you have prepared with the harvest?
• Which vegetables or fruits you do you snack on during the breaks?
• Challenge other schools to start a salad vegetable project!

3. Have a lesson all about salads and vegetables! 

Teachers: You can find some great tips and facts about fruit and vegetables and some fun serving ideas in our 'Salapedia' section - lovemysalad.com/en/salapedia

Some extra ideas: 

Bring a few vegetables to school to show during your lesson and talk about them;

Visit a local grower or greengrocer and learn about all the different vegetables you can buy;

Make a salad to share. Snack on slices of cucumber, small tomatoes and carrots. Enjoy being a salad fan!
