SEED

Our SEED licence is a good place to start. With this licence children get to know Vegemi and we start sowing the seeds to begin cultivating a fun-loving relationship with fruits and vegetables! If you’d like to trial Vegemi with your children, this free licence is the perfect place to start!

 

Meet Vegemi

The best place to start is always an introduction! An important part of the Vegemi Method, and the reason we know it to be so successful in helping children’s eating habits, is the relationship we develop between children and our character, Vegemi! 

To get familiar with each other, we have a range of activities to pick and choose from including; a video introduction from Vegemi himself, a dance activity where Vegemi shows off his best superpower moves and encourages you to join in, and a storytime all about Vegemi and his superpowers!

 

You can also dip your toes into the in-depth education provided in the Nourish and Thrive licences, with some sample materials covering just one of our superpowers, ‘Happy Heart’. 

 

NOURISH

When you’re ready to deliver a comprehensive food education programme, you can activate our NOURISH licence. Take your children on an adventure with Vegemi and have fun exploring nutrition and health superpowers through play-based learning and activities, this licence is complete with all necessary resources and materials.

 

Experience

Now that Vegemi and the children are getting on so well, it’s time for Vegemi to introduce his favourite things – fruits and vegetables of course! Providing children with hands-on experience with fruits and vegetables, where they can explore and investigate at their own pace, and without expectation, is an important element of food education. 

 

Included in experience are 3 different session types, with full guidance to make things easy and enjoyable for you educators. For these sessions we recommend having the focus fruit and vegetables present in the classroom, and the session options include; 

  • using our virtual reality app to photo identify fruits and vegetables and to visualise the superpowers coming to life, 
  • a guided six senses experience encouraging children to tune in and get curious about fruits and vegetables relative to their self, and 
  • an imaginative, story-led exercise to build children’s knowledge of key nutrition information in an engaging and playful way. 

 

Play + Learn!

Play-based activities are an inspiring way to cement knowledge, encourage wider thinking and continue to develop children’s confidence and positivity towards their food and health knowledge and awareness.

 

Following the superpower themes, which you will have explored in the experience section, our play section is jam-packed with ready-to-deliver resources, activities and ideas for you to get stuck into – do so at your own pace, and in line with your curriculum objectives. 

 

This section is organised into activity types, with an activity for each superpower in the following – 

  • Craft Activities
  • Group Games 
  • Songs
  • Stories & Colouring Pages
  • Worksheets

There’s something for everyone, and every occasion!
