Links to food safety games

Primary school teachers will find materials, advice and suggestions here to help them give pupils aged 7 to 11 (Key Stage 2 or P7 in Scotland) greater opportunities both to learn about and have access to fruit and vegetable choices and other learning resources based around Environmental Health issues. A number of these sites also give details of how these materials fit with the school curriculum.
