Schools

The Big Lunch provides a great opportunity to get kids off the sofa and connected with the people and places around them. We’ve got a range of resources for schoolteachers to help get their pupils excited about The Big Lunch, including lesson plans linked to the National Curriculum. We’ve also devised other activities for children to get involved in, which can be used as inspiration by youth clubs, Scouts, Guides or any other youth group.
