Helpful Tips for the Tasting Lesson

Preparing Plates of FoodThe lesson plan is designed for three groups of students.Students will taste four varieties of fruits or vegetables.However, it is easier for students to draw and then tasteone variety of fruit or vegetable at a time. However youchoose to prepare items, each group should have theopportunity to see and draw some of each of the varietieswhole. After students draw one variety, taste that varietytogether before passing out another.

Using the Tasting ChartEncourage students to use all five senses while exploringand tasting the fruits or vegetables. Ask questions aboutsize, shape, and color. Model the use of descriptive language. Give examples.

Ask questions that allow children to choose from opposites or answer with “yes” or “no.” “Is it wet or is it dry?” “Is itsmooth or is it bumpy?” Do not ask, “What does it tastelike?” Children at this age are not likely to be able toanswer with sweet, sour, bitter, or salty, although they may be able to discern these flavors.

It is important that students be able to choose whether toeat the food or not and be allowed to practice using theirsenses. Acknowledge their likes and dislikes by noting thatall people are different and comment on differences in anaccepting manner. It is important not to praise childrenwho like a fruit or vegetable more than those who dislike it.

Choice and personal preferences are an important part oftasting lessons. Tasting foods is always voluntary.Requiring children to taste new foods may make themresistant to eating a variety of foods.

Hand WashingWashing hands properlywill remove nearly all thegerms that get on yourhands during the courseof daily activities. Do notuse antibacterial handsanitizer when workingwith food.

• Wet your hands with clean warm water

• Apply soap

• Rub your hands together vigorouslyand scrub all surfaces

• Scrub for 20 seconds(sing a,b,c’s )

• Rinse with clean water
