Plan the Family Snack Board
Your child raids the fridge, plans a snack board for the whole family and works out how much of everything is needed. Real planning, and supper is solved.
What you need
- Whatever the fridge holds: cheese, ham, apple, cucumber, tomato, berries
- Rye bread or crackers
- Nuts, seeds or raisins
- A large board or tray
- Paper and a pencil
How to play
- Send your child to survey the fridge and write down eight things that need no cooking.
- Ask them to pick five so that at least three colours end up on the board.
- Work out together how many pieces of each one, counting two or three per person.
- Cut everything into pieces yourself while your child arranges the empty board into zones.
- Let them fill the zones in groups, keeping wet things like tomato away from the bread.
- Ask them to write a small menu card naming the board and stand it beside the tray.
- Call the family, serve the board and ask your child what they would change next time.
