Prepare the crunch
Crunch anytime this March
When planning your Crunch, choose locally grown fruits or vegetables. To make sure you are planning the day safely, you can use our COVID procedures guide.
CRUNCH WITH YOUR CLASS
Our toolkit provides fun, curriculum-linked lesson plans and activities to bring the Crunch to life for children of all ages at home or safely in the classroom. View FoodShare’s past toolkits. Also, check out chef/author Joshna Maharaj's Apple Fractions activity video, which you can use for your class.
CRUNCH AT HOME or organize a fun video call with your colleagues and crunch together.

THE GREAT BIG CRUNCH is a national movement and annual moment of anti-silence in which students, teachers, parents and others passionate about food join the food movement and crunch into apples (or other crunchy fruit or vegetable) to make noise for healthy school food! Every year since 2008, Canadians from coast to coast have participated in the Great Big Crunch, an original initiative of FoodShare Toronto.
