Places to Eat

Tell the children they are going to build a place to eat. Talk about different places to eat (e.g., cafes, restaurants, food trucks, food courts, cafeterias, etc.). Tell the children that a food truck park has different trucks that sell different types of food.

Show the photograph of the LEGO® DUPLO® models for Activity 6.

Consider asking questions like:

• What kind of eating place is shown in the picture?
• Do you go out for dinner with your family? Where do you go? Which place is
  your favorite?
• What other eating places are in your town? Which eating places would you like
  to have in your town?

• Tell the children they are going to build a place to eat, it can be a building or a
  food truck.
• Divide the children into pairs.
• Ask the children to work together in their pairs to build a place that serves food.

Ask the children to present their models. Consider asking questions like:

• Why did you choose to build that place?
• What can you eat there?

Talk about what the customer and server might say at the eating place. Ask the children to choose a LEGO DUPLO figure and role-play in their pairs being a customer and a server at their eating place.
