- Provide students with pretend food to use for dramatic play. Students can also make pretend food out of classroom materials, paper, or play-dough.
- Have students interact with and explore food. When students start wanting to serve one another, encourage them to create a menu!
- Look at menus from local restaurants to gain inspiration. If paper takeout menus are available at local restaurants, then try to collect some for students to explore.
- Provide writing materials or blank menu templates for students to create their own menus!
