Note for teachers using this lesson plan

Teachers should ensure they have clear and engaging visual aids, such as actual food items or high-quality pictures, to make the lesson more tangible for the pupils. Encourage pupils to share their family’s traditional dishes to foster a sense of cultural pride and participation. Emphasize the nutritional aspects of each food category in a simple way.
