An interesting collection of the types of lunches that children eat around the world was recently shared by the photo blog Crack Two, offering an insight to the different cultures, foods and diets. The images can be used within classrooms, asking pupils to explore the different foods on offer, and why they are relevant for the country; or even trying to match the lunches to countries, using a map of the world; explore which is the ‘healthiest’ meal, against the unhealthiest; discussions about what makes a healthy meal. Let us know how you use this activity with your class, so we can share to the community. All descriptions are within the captions below each image:
