Breakfast Relay

Categories: Kits , Nutrition , Food Science , Spanish , Science

Many students think products simply come from factories or stores. This hands-on activity helps students understand that before an item ever leaves a factory, or enters a store, it began as a resource or product in the natural world – most likely agriculture while also teaching the importance of breakfast and exercise.

INSTRUCTIONS

• You will need a 25-30 foot long space to run the relay. Hallways, gym or outside works best.
• Divide students into two teams (red and blue to match the cards). Each team gets a set of food cards and bags labeled Earth, Farm, Store and Factory.
• Place a set of bags about 30 feet away from the starting line. Teams should be formed into two lines (pic shows race with buckets) at the starting line, facing the bags.
• For grades with limited reading ability, review the food cards with your students before running the relay.
• Point out that each card has a picture and words to figure out what it is.
