The lesson “Food Groups” teaches children to identify local ingredients frequently used in cooking and their proper uses. The children will learn about the different food groups, how God created us to enjoy food and that it is also essential to survival. The children will discuss how cooking and eating together helps to strengthen our relationships with others and will have the opportunity to either plan a meal together or actually prepare a meal that includes healthy foods from a variety of food groups. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 18th lesson in the 2nd Year “Cook a Local Meal” unit.
