Teach children about foods from around the world, by asking them to create and present a commercial for their international restaurant. 

Materials

  • Table
  • Chairs
  • Paper
  • Pencil
  • Specific food ingredients

Framing

Sometimes in order for us accept our friends, we need to take a moment to experience something they like or know.  A fun, and tasty way to do this is with food!

Instructions

  1. Ask children to choose groups. Each group will create a commercial for their restaurant.
  2. They must think of a name and make a menu with at least 3 foods from the cards.
  3. Hand out paper, pencils and markers for the menus.
  4. Set up a table and chairs. Use props if available, such as tablecloth, dishes and food.
  5. Have the children act out their commercials.   

Modify

  • Consider upping the scale of this activity by allowing your group to have a chance at making a real international dish.

Safety

  • There are no foreseeable safety concerns for this activity (unless allowing children to make food, then the utmost supervision around hot or sharp elements is crucial).

Wrap-up

Encourage your group to share something they liked, either about the food or the commercials. Maybe next time participants can explore their own cultures.
