Overview:
The food eaten in diferent cultures’ cuisines, attitudes towards food, and the social customs of eating with others can
vary quite considerably from country to country, but often also from town to town within the same country. Food
culture is such an important factor in shaping identity that many stereotypes are created around people’s eating
habits. Moments when people eat together, such as lunch breaks in school, are great opportunities to chat and interact.
In this series of activities, pupils will share their habits, likes, and dislikes.
Learning intentions:
Through various learning experiences, pupils should be able to…
• Recognise some basic types of food and drink
• Share one of their favourite dishes
• Express likes and dislikes for some types of food
