Guiding Question: What is the best way to handle and prepare food safely?

Procedure: Review the story of the first sins, focusing especially on the mentions of gardens and growing food. Teach/review with students the rules for handling and preparing food safely. (Wash and/or glove hands, tie back hair, don’t sneeze or cough on food, etc.) Have students wash hands carefully. If desired they can try preparing food while also gloved. Make sure their hair is pulled back in a hair tie or hair net. Allow them to assemble cold s’mores and eat them. (Note:If you have the ability to show videos, go to www.noawalkaway.com and play one of the food safety videos while students are enjoying their s’mores.)
