Rachel Yankey - top international footballer

and all-round sporting superstar.

But when Rachel's not scoring goals for her team,

she's playing with the Footy Pups.

And that's today's team.

CHEERING

OK, guys, gather round - it's team talk time!

THEY CHEER

Today, we're going to be thinking about healthy eating.

-Who knows why it's important to eat healthy foods?

-...foods.

Oh, lots of hands.

-Sophie?

-Cos it helps your body.

Fantastic. Alex?

-It gives you lots of energy.

-Well done, Alex.

That's right, guys. Healthy foods will help keep up fit and healthy,

and they'll give us loads more energy to help us play.

Now, who knows what types of food are healthy?

-Clark?

-Fruit and vegetables!

Well done. Katie?

-Pasta.

-Pasta, mm, yum yum.

There are LOADS of good, healthy foods that you can eat.

To help you pick healthy foods,

there are three things we need to remember.

Fresh...

natural...

and tasty.

ALL: Mm-m-m.

Now, I've laid out a table with some healthy food,

and some NOT so healthy food.

I want you to take one piece of food,

but remember to check if it's fresh and natural.

Off you go!

KIDS CHATTER

That's a lot of food.

Mm, this is making me feel like lunch!

I wonder what the team will pick.

Oh, bananas, great choice.

A burger, or maybe corn?

Katy's in deep thought.

Alex is still deciding.

Oh, I love cupcakes - but maybe not that healthy.

Decisions, decisions. There's so much choice here.

Let's take a look at what the team picked.

Sophia, what did you choose?

I chose chicken because it's very, very good for you.

-Fantastic, is it yummy, too?

-Yes.

Clark, what did you choose?

Um, pasta, because it gives me loads of energy.

-For all that running you're going to do?

-Yes.

And...Alex?

I chose tomatoes because it's very fresh and very tasty, too.

Well done. Whilst these guys are living healthily,

-Here's a reminder for you at home.

-WHISTLE SOUNDS

'There are loads of healthy foods to eat.

'Try to remember that they should be fresh...

natural...

and tasty.

We know that there are lots of healthy foods that we can eat.

Now, we're going to make a super striker smoothie.

I've given you each an ingredient

to prepare for our smoothie.

Once you're done, I've got a blender to mix it all up.

If you're going to make a super striker smoothie at home,

remember to always ask a grown-up to help you

when chopping and grating.

Katie's measuring out some Greek yoghurt. Looks delicious.

Clark's peeling bananas.

Good helping with the mashing, Rachel.

Careful cucumber chopping here.

The carrots have been grated.

Into the blender with the other ingredients.

This super striker smoothie will be super healthy!

I'll be back - I'm just going to blend this up.

BELL RINGS

OK, this is our super striker smoothie.

Let's have a taste.

Hope you've saved some for me, Rachel.

-Is that yummy?

-Yes.

-Yeah.

Did you taste the yoghurt that you put in?

Yeah, and the strawberries.

-Yummy, scrummy!

-Ha-ha!

SLURP!

Mm! These smoothies you made are delicious, Pickles.

It's good to eat healthy food.

Do you remember the day I ate all those doggy treats?

It's breakfast time here at Pupton Park,

and the Footy Pups are making a very early start.

-Aw!

-Where's all our breakfast gone?

Don't panic, everyone, but I think we've got mice.

-THEY GASP

-I've got to catch them before

our elephant friends, Trunkmere Rovers, arrive.

Elephants are terrified of mice.

I hope they don't get scared off.

We're supposed to do jumbo aerobics with them,

to get fighting fit for our next match.

It's going to be tough keeping up with their elephant exercises.

Aw, but I can't do exercises. I'm SO hungry.

Don't worry, Rozzie, Trunkmere Rovers

are bringing a nice, healthy breakfast.

They'll be here very soon,

so I'd better find those mice!

Aw, but I want something to eat now!

Huh! Oh...

Delicious doggy treats!

-ALL:

-Bow-wow!

It must be Freddie's secret stash.

I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we had a few treats,

just to keep us going.

Rozzie, we're not meant to eat treats before breakfast.

-SHE MUNCHES

-Don't be silly, Pickles,

we'll be much better at exercising if we're not hungry.

Freddie does say eating things gives us energy.

We'll definitely need energy to keep up with those elephants.

REX YELPS HAPPILY

-But treats aren't proper food.

-THEY MUNCH

They're yummy, though. Try some.

No thanks. I think I'll wait.

-SHE SNIFFS

-Then I smell extra treats for me!

THEY TRUMPET

Sounds like Trunkmere Rovers are here.

I've got to catch those wee mice before the elephants see them.

They're not under here.

Sorry we're late, Footy Pups.

It took us ages to pack our trunk.

It's the breakfast of champions.

-PUPS:

-Bow-wow!

THEY TRUMPET

-Tuck in, pups.

-MUNCHING

This is delicious!

Ooh...but I don't feel hungry anymore.

Oh, nor me.

REX MOANS

ROZZIE MUNCHES

Not eating any?

Nope, I don't need breakfast.

I've already got LOTS of energy!

BOING! BOING!

I know you're here somewhere.

Aha! Take THAT, mice!

THEY GASP

-Did somebody just say...

-Nice!

-I said, "Your healthy breakfast looks really, really nice."

-Oh.

Oh, that was close.

Now, what are we going to do with you, you naughty wee...

orange?!

Aw!

Now everyone's left long enough for their breakfast to go down,

it's time to get exercising.

SHE TRUMPETS

Elephants and ele-friends Let's STOMP to the beat!

MUSIC PLAYS

This is easy. I've got lots of energy.

Whee!

Flap those ears and spin around.

Whee! We should always eat treats before exercising.

THEY GROAN

My tummy's really full.

Mine, too.

BOING! BOING!

Go, Pickles!

Wow, looks like that healthy breakfast

is really paying off for the young goalkeeper.

I've hunted high and low,

and there's definitely no mouse in my clubhouse.

Wah! Oh, crumbs, my secret stash

of doggie treats has gone missing, too.

Those cheeky mice must have eaten them.

-HE GASPS

-The mice are still here!

Wave your trunks in the air like you just don't care!

And jump!

And jump!

BOING! BOING!

I can't keep up any more.

I wish we hadn't eaten so many treats.

Whoa...

And it's not just Rozzie who's struggling

to keep up with the elephants. THEY GROAN

THEY TRUMPET Pickles is the only pup

who isn't looking pooped.

TRUMPETING

Wake up, pups!

Those cheeky mice have struck again! They've eaten all of our...

treats?

Oh, the mice must be in here!

Mice?!

ELEPHANTS GASP

Did you say, "mice", in here?

TRUMPETING

-Run for your lives!

-I've got you.

Wha!

Nice move.

Those little mice are causing a jumbo-size disaster!

No, Freddie, it's all MY fault.

Oh! Mouse, mouse!

Stop! Stop!

There are no mice.

CREAKING No mice?

But there must be! Who else would have eaten

all of these doggy treats?

It was me.

I was hungry and couldn't wait till breakfast.

Now, I've got no energy to exercise.

Oh, Rozzie, you should know -

sweets and treats don't make for a healthy breakfast.

Sorry, everyone, I've ruined your workout.

Ruined? That was the most energetic workout we've ever done.

HE TRUMPETS

With the most energetic pup.

Pickles is even better at elephant exercises than WE are.

Really? Hee-hee! Thank you.

But, after all this jumping around,

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to cool down.

Don't worry about that. Ready, team?

THEY TRUMPET

SLURP!

SLOSH! Look at that!

What an impressive cooldown by the elephants.

It's a great way to wake up snoozing pups, too.

THEY GIGGLE

I'm feeling ready to some more exercise.

Oh! Sounds like a puppy plan!

Ready, pups?

And...shake!

THEY GROWL AND GIGGLE

-FLEAS:

-Eat healthy food and you won't go wrong,

it will help you exercise all day long!

Go, go, go...

Footy Pups!

Right, then. Who wants to helps me rustle up a nice, healthy lunch?

-ALL:

-Me!

Erm, I think the bag of treats wants to come, too.

-Squeak!

-THEY GASP

Oh, no.

-Ah.

-SHE GIGGLES

Oh, Pickles,

I really wish I hadn't eaten all those doggy treats.

Healthy food always gives you more energy, Rozzie.

-Hi, guys.

-BOTH:

-Hi, Rachel!

I've brought my lunch with me.

I haven't had time to eat it.

-SHE SNIFFS

-What have you got?

I've got some sweets...

and some crisps.

Rachel! You can't eat those.

You need something healthy for lunch.

We've still got a game to play.

You're right. How about this, then?

I've got a healthy sandwich

and a nice, juicy apple.

Oh, that's much better.

Do you guys remember how to eat healthily?

Try to eat foods that are fresh...

natural...

and tasty.

-OK, guys, who fancies a game?

-THEY CHEER

So, I split you up into two teams.

We've got the oranges.

-Oranges, give me a cheer.

-THEY CHEER

And, we've got the apples.

-Apples, give me a cheer.

-THEY CHEER

Let's take a look with the Footy Pups to find out how to play.

To play this game, you need to have your healthy heads on.

When the whistle blows, the first team-mate runs to the

giant bowl of food to find a healthy ingredient.

They then run with it to the fruit and veg bowl, pop it in,

and run back to their teammates.

They must high-five, and it's the next team-mate's turn.

Teams must keep going until the final whistle blows.

The winners of this game

will be the team who collects the most healthy food.

Three, two, one...

WHISTLE SOUNDS

They're off.

Good, nice and quick.

Grab a piece of healthy food.

Put it in your bowl!

High-five your team-mate.

Great stuff from both teams.

They've got lots of energy.

It's a tomato for the Oranges

and a pineapple for the Apples.

Go, go, go! Find something fresh,

natural, tasty.

Kai!

Sophie's looking for a win.

These young pups really are speedy.

Really search!

These guys are neck-and-neck.

PUPS CHEER

Rozzie and Pickles are loving this.

Remember, no ice creams.

Look for something healthy!

Clark's got a giant tomato!

Good work, guys, good work.

Kai is on a mission.

He's run all the way around that fruit bowl.

That's it. Run, run, run!

That smoothie has given these teams energy.

Healthy food is coming thick and fast.

A banana! A pickle!

Come on!

Not long left. Time is running out!

I don't know about you, but I'm on the edge of my seat.

Three...two...one...

WHISTLE SOUNDS

And, time!

Let's have a replay.

They were brilliant at finding healthy food,

and getting them to their bowls.

But who managed to fill theirs up most?

Let's cross over to Rozzie and Pickles,

who have the final scores.

Both teams got nine fruit or veg in their bowls,

meaning the score is a healthy draw.

PUPS CHEER

'My team have been brilliant at healthy eating.

'We've chopped strawberries,

'measured yoghurt,

'and grated carrots.

'Most importantly,

'we've remembered to check our ingredients are fresh, natural,

'and tasty.'

That's it for today.

Well done. Now you've got the skill,

-remember to pass it on.

-THEY CHEER
