School might be out for Christmas but the fun doesn’t stop! By downloading the new Green Schools Revolution game, kids up and down the UK can battle it out to be the ultimate eco warrior.

According to a recent study by The Co-operative, over 90 per cent of children want to learn more about green issues* and its fun new app, being launched today (9 December), sets kids on a mission to become green revolutionaries.

By downloading the free app to their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, kids can race against time to harvest the carrots before the rabbit gets them, turn off the taps to save the duck and save energy by switching off lights whilst putting their green knowledge to the test to unlock the secret bonus level and become an eco warrior.

With fun quizzes about energy, water and healthy living, the app is educational and fun for the whole family over Christmas.

The Co-operative’s Green Schools Revolution education programme, part of its Inspiring Young People campaign, was launched in 3,000 primary and secondary schools in September by farmer and TV presenter Jimmy Doherty. It has been designed to inspire the next generation of green pioneers, with free lessons, trips and green activities available to all UK primary and secondary schools.

Melanie Phillips, who heads up The Co-operative’s Green Schools Revolution programme, said: “We are lucky that our youngsters have such a tremendous appetite to learn more about green issues. Our new Green Schools Revolution app is a fun and engaging way to help children and young people learn about building a more sustainable world whilst competing with their friends and family to become eco warriors!”

You can download this exciting app, available on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, from the iTunes store from 9th December. Search the app store for ‘green schools’ to download the game for free.
