Teachers pack

We’ve produced an assembly pack and teaching guides for World food Day and teaching guides to explore the World Food Crisis in more depth.

Assembly and lesson plans

Following the assembly, pupils may wish to get involved and help ‘change the outcome’. Whatever fundraising ideas you come up with – we hope you feel that you are really making a difference.

Fundraising ideas for pupils

Fundraise for the World Food Crisis and every penny you raise can make the world of difference.  You could theme your fundraising along the idea of change or food.

Like:

1. change your hairdo
2. change your junk into money
3. change your lunch to a healthy option

Whatever you think of, you can get sponsored for your activity and help really make a difference to the outcome of this crisis.

Non-school based fundraising

World Food Crisis: you have the power to change the outcome!

Your fundraising ideas are best – you know what will appeal in your school. We’ve put some ideas together that have worked well in schools all around the country.

The ideas are themed around change and food – but whatever you do, your action will make a difference to people around the world.

Change:

How your room looks – declutter and change your junk in gold.

Your hairstyle – get sponsored or hold a hair-fashion show

Your lunch to the healthy option – get sponsored for the number of healthy meals you have.

How you get to school – if you save on transport – add that in to your fundraising total.

A wall of your school – paint a mural of what you’ve learned and charge for viewings.

Your style – pay to dress up or down. With willing teachers you could even get them to dress as pupils and the pupils as teachers.

Fundraising around food:

Sell cakes and biscuits made from Fairtrade sugar.

Have a Fairtrade food and film afternoon before half-term.

Hold a food from around the world quiz.

Charge 50p to take part in a packed lunch swap.

Ask your teachers to provide a posh waiting service in the canteen – raise money from tips.

Talented musicians entertain the lunchtime crowds.

Explore the food chain and have a different food fundraising event every day for a week.

Guess the number of sweets in a jar.

Unusual food competition – what is it!?

Dress up as your favourite food and hold a fashion show.

Please always run your ideas past a teacher so they can make sure you stay safe and healthy.

How your money could help

Here are some examples of what your money could buy:

£17 could buy a vet-care kit

£17 could make a big contribution to the vaccinations and veterinary care of goats, donkeys, sheep and other livestock around the world. Healthy animals mean happy owners, because they keep on getting the best from their four-legged friends.

 

£24 could plant an allotment

These types of allotments are more than just a hobby– they can enable families and communities to feed themselves with a variety of lovely, nutritious veg. And they can sell any surplus to pay for anything from clothes to school fees.

 

£50 could train a farmer

As experts in their field, farmers already know a lot about growing things. But training will help them find out about new agricultural techniques – everything from dealing with the impact of global warming to how to store crops and work with other farmers to get a better price for their produce.

 

£50 could start up a bee-keeping business

The advantages of having these industrious little chaps must bee seen to bee believed! Honey can generate income for food, medicines and school fees. £50 could pay for bees, hives, training in beekeeping and honey production, and selling techniques.
