      Food (Activities for 3–5 Year Olds) - Adrienne Walton

      Cafe

      What children should learn

      Language and literacy - to develop speaking and listening skills in a group whilst planning a new role play area.

      What you need

      A quiet place to talk; a large sheet of paper and a marker pen to record ideas.

      Activity

      Sit the children comfortably in a circle on the floor so that everyone feels able to contribute. Ask: ‘What is a cafe? Who can tell me what happens there?’ Ask the children to share their own experiences of eating out. Ask: ‘Who works in a cafe?’ and ‘What food might they serve?’ Lead the children to think about what equipment they may need to collect, in order to set up their own cafe. List the children’s ideas on the large sheet of paper, recording each child’s name next to their contributions. Encourage the children to bring things from home for the new cafe, such as cut out pictures of food, or a menu from a restaurant - McDonald’s, for example.

      Extension

      Act out different role-plays; an adult playing alongside the children could demonstrate the differing tasks of the waiter/waitress, chef or customer. A visit from a real chef or waiter to talk about their job could enhance the children’s learning.

      Talk about

      Once the children have had the opportunity to use the cafe, you could hold further discussions on how to use new pieces of equipment, such as a notepad to write down orders or a whisk for beating eggs.

      5.tif

      Make a Menu for the Cafe

      What children should learn

      Language and literacy - to know that words and pictures carry meaning; to develop an awareness of the different purposes for writing.

      What you need

      A selection of menus from cafes and restaurants; paper, pencils, crayons and pens; alphabet and number lines to provide a model for the children’s writing; plastic or salt dough food; food pictures cut from magazines to provide models for the children’s
