Wooden Grill & Serve BBQ Set

SORT & COUNT Have kids identify each food item and categorize it by basic food group: meat, grain, or fruits and vegetables. Ask whether any of the foods fit more than one group (veggie burger, corn). Have kids line up all the food pieces in a row. Count the number of pieces together, and repeat until kids are able to count them independently.

GET A ROUND Challenge kids to build a sandwich using only round ingredients (not including corn). Ask them how many layers they can make it (five: two halves of the bun, hamburger, veggie burger, tomato).

FAVORITE FOODS Ask kids which of these foods are their favorites, and why. Ask them if they know which is your favorite!

MEMORY MASTER Place all of the ingredients in front of kids and ask them to study them. As kids close their eyes, hide one or more of the pieces underneath the grill surface (inside the box). Ask them to look at the remaining pieces and figure out what is missing.

ORDER UP Have kids make a special order with toppings in a specific order. For example: "I'd like a bun with steak, tomato, and lettuce, please." Make your request aloud for younger kids; for older kids, write it on a slip of paper so the "chef" can read your order!
