Food & Cooking:
Dinner Plate Game
Supplies:
Print out one
dinner plate per child from the link below.
Bring several
examples of each type of food to the table.
Let the
children discuss and decide what food they would like
in each
section of their dinner plate.
Then let the
children have a snack, for real, using any of the foods
you've
brought out as an example.
Maybe they
would take a mini portion of each of the food groups!
Another idea:
if you have a lot of old magazines and newspaper circulars, give each child a
stack and some scissors, and let them cut out pictures of corresponding foods
to place in each section of the plate, like a paper scavenger hunt!
