Session 7 Market Matters: What We Need to Feed a Nation (links to the UNSG 2 ZERO HUNGER) Rostrata Primary School with Claire Davenhall and Nikki BarnettB
Session 7 DATE 19.6.25
90-minute session in the classroom:
Warm Up
| We played the memory game, where students look at the food items on the tray and try to remember all the things on there. We took 1 or 2 things away and see if they can guess which ones, they can take turns to play the game. It got quite loud! Then, we played the creative cafe token game. We put the image on the board, and asked them to think, pair and share what they would buy if they had 5 tokens. It was interesting to see how they would spend part or all of the money. Then, in their groups of 4, they have 5 tokens each, so 20 tokens altogether. What would their group buy and why? This again was quite interesting, some choosing to maximise the spending, others being more reversed and only buying what they need and not want. |
| We gave them a worksheet and a spreadsheet with ingredients to help them source and find the total cost of making their food. Next, they had to double the price to make a profit and then tally up the totals of the class to work out a token system to price their work. In groups, they collaboratively came up with 4 unit names for the tokens: Tungs, Plaques, Gems, and Slay Tungs (ST). The group chose ST! I had to look that up when I got home! They added the final price in Slay Tungs to their posters, ready for the Food Market in week 10.   |
| They chose 2 tokens and said how they had used the creative habits in the class activities and added them to their jars. |
