Before you begin

Check if anyone has any allergies that you need to avoid.

Wipe down the surfaces you'll use with disinfectant spray.

Wash the fruit. You want a selection of colourful fruits, for example, easy peel citrus fruits, bananas, strawberries, blueberries and grapes.

Put the washed fruits on the clean tables.

Talk about fruit

1. The person leading the activity should help everyone understand that it's important to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. A helpful way to think about this is to think about eating the rainbow! Different fruits and vegetables have different vitamins that we need to stay strong and healthy, especially while we grow.

2. The person leading the activity should explain that fruit skewers are a great way to try fruits, as everyone can use things they already know they like as well as trying new fruits.

Make fruit skewers

1. Everyone should wash their hands.

2. Everyone should split into smaller groups, with at least one older helper.

3. Everyone should look at all of the fruits and think about what they'd like to put on their skewer to make it colourful and tasty. The helper should remind everyone of the colours of the rainbow, and help people see which fruits could match each colour.

4. Everyone should help to prepare the fruits. Some may need peeling and some will need slicing and chopping into bite-sized chunks.

5. The helper should teach everyone how to lay the fruit on a chopping board, hold the knife firmly by the handle, and hold the fruit with the other hand in a claw shape. Everyone should have a go at slicing with the table knife, keeping their fingers out of the way of the blade.

You can toss fruit that goes brown when it's exposed to air (such as banana) in lemon juice to help it stay fresh while you prepare all the fruit and make the skewers.
Everyone should put pieces of fruit on their skewer, sliding each piece down to the end (but not forgetting to leave enough skewer to hold on to). People should try to use a variety of fruits - including ones they haven't tried before. They could cut smaller pieces of fruit if they're not sure.
To make a rainbow, for example, people could use a strawberry, orange segment, banana slice, green grape, blueberry and purple grape.
Everyone should put their skewer on a plate.

Write a healthy postcard

1. Everyone should wash their hands and help clean the tables and equipment.

2. The person leading the activity should give everyone a postcard - they could use the postcard template we've made.

3. Everyone should draw their fruit skewer on the front of the postcard. They should try to draw all of the fruits they used.

4. Everyone could write (or draw) a healthy message for a friend on their postcard. For example, they could remind everyone to 'eat a rainbow', or 'try something new', or they could remind people that 'fruit is good for you'.
