The easy way for children to learn about food and healthy eating
The Grain Chain www.grainchain.com is a new user-friendly multimedia resource which offers children a fun way to learn about healthy eating and gain an insight into the ‘field to fork’ cycle of how wheat is grown and used to produce breads and breakfast cereals.
Developed with input from teachers, this latest learning resource offers visual, up-to-date materials. These include activity sheets, games and quizzes, which cover the key topics of arable farming, milling, cooking and nutrition.
The Grain Chain will be featuring a regular newsletter which will include event updates, new resources and an exciting recipe from the website encouraging and educating children to live a healthier lifestyle.
The Grain Chain covers the following age groups:
- 5-7 year olds
- 7-11 year olds
- 11-14 year olds
- 14-16 year olds
Given the current debate around the need to teach children cooking skills, there is a selection of easy recipes with clear explanations, ranging from breakfast to healthy treats and party food. The recipes are in line with current healthy eating guidelines.
The Home Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA), the Flour Advisory Bureau (FAB) and The Federation of Bakers have collaborated to produce this new multimedia educational resource.
