Two lessons, all about snacking, look closely at how to make smart, balanced choices. Lesson one challenges pupils to create a menu for the hypothetical restaurant, The Snack Shack. Lesson two offers a variety of informative articles followed by a group collage project. Scholars work together to clip pictures of food and paste them on a large piece of butcher paper to hang proudly in the classroom or around the school.
