Pizza is a preferred food for most young children.
The average American consumes about 23 pounds, or 46 slices of pizza per year, and according to the Gallup poll, children ages three to 11 consider pizza their favorite food or lunch and dinner, which may be why teachers serve it to classrooms on special occasions. Whether you are teaching a lesson on international cuisine or rewarding your class for hard work throughout the year, create a memorable pizza party atmosphere by decorating the classroom like a pizza parlor.
Instructions
1. Cover the walls of the classroom with photographs of Italy, the Italian flag, famous Italian buildings and monuments and replicas of art by Italian artists.
2. Rearrange the seating in the classroom, if the desks are not attached to the floor. If there are single desks, create a rectangle along the outside of the room, or several groups of two or four desks facing inward for a communal feeling.
3. Fold several pieces of construction paper in half, and list the varieties of pizza available at the party on the inside. These will be your menus. Place a place mat on each desk, and a menu on every other or every three desks so the students can share.
4. Erect the table in the center of the room and top it with pizza, plates, napkins, cups and soda pop. Stand behind the table wearing the apron.
5. Invite the students to visit the table in small groups, place their orders buffet-style, and return to their seats to enjoy the meal.
