[Early Childhood Education] Learn with the kids! A quiz about food

A variety of ingredients are used in nursery school lunches and snacks.

I think food education is a theme that every school works on.

It would be great if children could enjoy learning.

So this time, we’ve put together a collection of quizzes about food.

Learning about the foods they eat every day will make mealtime even more fun.

Try answering the quizzes together with the teacher and the children and have a great time!

It’s an enjoyable learning activity that nurtures thinking skills through visual features while fostering an interest in fruits!
