Resources for Educators
REAP Farm to School has developed simple and fun educational activities for the classroom designed to engage students' senses as they explore the world of food.
There are many ways to inspire young people to be 'adventurous eaters' and to develop curiosity about where their food comes from.
The classroom lessons and other educator tools listed below are adaptable to many ages and settings. We hope they can enhance food education in your classroom!
