Learning Activities

1. Arrange a kitchen tour.
If your school has a breakfast program, invite the school food service director or cafeteria manager to talk about it to the class. Arrange for students to take a tour of the cafeteria to learn about school breakfast. Before this activity, help students generate a list of questions they can ask following the tour. For example, students might be interested to know the following:

How many breakfasts are made each day?
How much milk is served for breakfast?
How is breakfast prepared, and what is the nutrient analysis of the breakfast meals served at school for one week? (School breakfast should provide ¼ of the calories and nutrients needed for the day.)

2. Compare muffin recipes.
Ask each student to bring a recipe for muffins. Some may bring packaged mixes. Lead the class in comparing the recipes, most of which will have similar ingredients in differing amounts: flour, shortening or oil, egg, milk, sugar, and a leavening agent (either baking powder or baking soda). Discuss with the class the difficulty of pleasing all participants in the School Breakfast program with just one recipe.

3. Make a healthy breakfast placemat.
Give each student a large piece of construction paper. Ask the students to draw or cut out pictures of foods they like to eat for breakfast. As they are working on their placemats, talk about the importance of eating a healthy breakfast and the wide range of breakfast food choices. Laminate the completed placemats, or cover them with contact paper. Students can reuse the placemats every day as a happy reminder of how much fun breakfast can be!
