Activity: Grow Your Own Veggie
Have each child plant a seed (e.g., beans) in a small cup. They will water it daily and watch it grow. Discuss what the plant needs to grow, like sunlight and water.
Activity: Vegetable Exploration
Bring in different vegetables (carrots, spinach, potatoes, etc.). Let the children feel and observe them. Cut them open to explore the parts: roots (carrot), leaves (spinach), and stems.
Activity: Season Sorting
Show pictures of different vegetables and seasons. Have the learners match which vegetables grow in each season, using simple cards with images of vegetables and weather symbols (sun, rain, etc.).
Activity: Farm to Table Journey
Show pictures of farms, farmers, and markets. Talk about how vegetables are grown and sold. Set up a mini pretend farmer’s market where learners can “buy” and “sell” vegetables.
Activity: World Veggie Passport
Show pictures of vegetables from different countries (e.g., sweet potatoes from Africa, tomatoes from Italy). Create a simple passport booklet where learners can "stamp" each country as they learn about different veggies.
Activity: Veggie Taste Test
Bring in a variety of vegetables for a tasting activity. Let the children try small bites and talk about the benefits of eating vegetables for staying healthy and strong.
Activity: Gardening Tool Match
Provide pictures or toy models of tools like shovels, watering cans, and rakes. Have the children match each tool to what it is used for in the garden.
Activity: Farm Machine Colouring
Give the children colouring pages with pictures of farm machines like tractors and harvesters. Discuss what these machines do to help farmers grow vegetables.
Activity: Veggie Storage Sort
Show learners different ways to store vegetables: fridges, baskets, and dried veggies. Set up a sorting game where they can place pictures of vegetables into the correct "storage" method (e.g., fridge, basket, drying rack).
