On 11/29/11 members of the Lego Robotics Girls Team, roboGbots, taught a group of little kids, 4 and 5 year olds, from the RoboMindTech Creative Play class about food safety - why they should wash their hands before preparing food and before eating.
First, the team members played a Yo Gaba Gaba video about eating all their food. Then they asked the kids questions about why they should wash their hands before fixing food and eating. They learned that there might be different bad germs and bacteria that might be on their hands, which they cannot see. Those germs and bacteria can get in their food and when they eat it, makes them sick.
Next, they gave out LEGO Duplo bricks that were shaped like soap and had the little kids wash pretend to wash their hands in a sink made of Lego, of course! Then each kid was given a base plate to represent a plate to build his or her LEGO food on. With LEGO elements the little kids made their favorite foods like sandwiches, French fries, apples, and carrots.
The kids had so much fun while learning about the importance of personal hygiene and food safety.
