Implement a monthly(ish!) ‘homeschooling food’ session and bring your homeschooling project to life!
Choose a different country (or historical period) each session. Then plan, cook, & eat a meal from that place. Have fun thinking up new ideas or incorporating your current interests! Some ideas to get you started:
- Read Enid Blyton's Famous Five and eat a meal of egg, lettuce, & tomato sandwiches, slices of ham, fruit cake, and bottles of ginger beer.
- If you're studying World War II, spend a day eating wartime rations.
- Study Ancient Greece and eat olives, raisins & greek pancakes with honey.
- During the Gold Rush days miners ate ’sow-belly and beans’ or ‘Bear steaks’!! You might have to settle for a cowboy meal of sausages, beans and rice instead!
Researching which foods to include will make your project come to life – and help your students get a real feel for the place or time they are studying.
What a fantastic idea to get ‘picky’ eaters to try new foods they wouldn’t normally eat!
