Miss Carrie showed everyone that she had A LOT of pictures of foods. Some foods were cooked, some were raw. Some were for snacks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everyone chose 3 pictures to show their friends. Every friend held up a picture and asked the entire class "Do you like ________? and labeled their picture. Everyone then answered "I do!" or "I don't!" and gave a thumbs up and thumbs down. We remembered that Miss Carrie does NOT like peanut butter. Not everyone liked pizza. Everyone liked ice cream. Some of us liked broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots.
At the end we sang Do You Like Broccoli Ice Cream? And laughed at the silly combinations.
DO THIS AT HOME: at mealtimes talk about what foods you like and foods you don't like. You can't say "I don't like it" unless you try it. Miss Carrie tries foods she thinks she doesn't like once in a while to see if she changed her mind. Talk about favorite foods of other family members or friends. If Grandpa really likes cookies, take him a plate of cookies. Practice asking "Do you like..." and "I do/I don't".
