Breakfast Club Plus resource pack and activities
Developed with help from the DfES (now DfE) and Kellogg's, the Breakfast Club Plus resource takes you through the steps to set up a breakfast club and keep it going.
The Breakfast Club Plus resource pack has also been adapted for Welsh schools:
Breakfast Movers Essential Guide - updated April 2012
Breakfast Readers Essential Guide - updated April 2012
This Breakfast Readers Essential Guide complements the main Breakfast Club Plus resource pack and Book-it!. It offers advice about setting up and running a ‘Breakfast Readers’ club, where children and their parents or carers take part in reading activities in addition to enjoying a healthy breakfast.
Breakfast Readers evaluation report
This evaluation report examines the extent to which the Breakfast Reading Pilot, managed by ContinYou between October 2005 and July 2006, met its identified aims and objectives.
Singing Breakfast Clubs
ContinYou and Sing Up have joined forces to create this fantastic, practical singing resource, using our combined knowledge of singing and breakfast clubs. We have worked hard to create a folder that can be used time and again to bring the benefits of singing into your club.
