Change4Life teaches children how to cut sugar

Families Health
New early years resources have been launched to help children cut their intake of sugary food and drink.

Public Health England has developed resources for early years and primary schools across England as part of its Change4Life campaign.

Created for use in English and Maths lessons, the resources will help children and their families understand how much sugar is in their food and drink and encourage making healthier swaps to reduce sugar intake.

The Change4Life early years lesson plan includes activities encouraging children to spot sugar cube invaders, use maths skills to find healthier swaps, and learn a new rhyme.
