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?

Construct

  • 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.

Contemplate

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

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