Cooking together

Hey there!!

We've talked sometimes about what teaching and learning mean when dealing with kids. For children, doing is the same as learning, so the more interactive activities we can provide, the better.
Cooking is a great thing to do with kids. We can practice food and cooking vocabulary as well as listening skills....and have fun at the same time!! It's something we can do with big and small groups, we just have to take care of every detail...because kids tend to get a little overexcited when we break the routine.
A fruit salad is something easy every child can deal with. Every kid can take part of it: one can wash the fruit, another one can peel a banana, others can cut some fruit, add sugar...and then the best part: we can eat it all together!!
Here's a picture of my kids enjoying their fruit salad. I had to put a filter to it because of the Privacy Laws, of course, but we can still see they are having fun!!
