Writing Prompt: 17 June National Eat Your Vegetables Day


 

National Eat Your Vegetables Day

Create a story about someone who is not too keen on eating their vegetables and gets persuaded to do so. Maybe a child doesn’t want to eat anything green.  Perhaps someone in the family is a fan of fish and chips but leaves out the mushy peas. Or maybe someone does eat them but cooks them to a squidgy mess first.

 

Maybe you could write an article about the benefits of eating vegetables, how to grow them and how to cook them.

 

Could you compile a selection of your favourite recipes?

 

Maybe visit a local market or fresh produce shop and wallow in the sensations of being there. Now write a haiku or a poem about what you experienced.

 

Visit an allotment and actually get your hands into the soil. How does that feel? What do you see? Hear? And even taste, if you can eat some of the vegetables raw?        

 

Can you write an ode to a vegetable?

 

Or write an article about getting the children to do the right thing.

Honour vegetables by writing about them today.
