Go through the answers with them as a group, explaining any unusual answers.

Activity Two - (Diet)
Ask the Cubs to cut out different foods from the magazines and stick them to their plate creating a balanced meal. If you have time go through their plates of food they have created. As a (unhealthy) example create a plate of food yourself with lots of unhealthy things on.


Activity Three - (Methods)
Open discussion about different methods of cooking food, ask the Cubs which they can name - roasting, frying, boiling, poaching, grilling, etc. Discuss which they think are healthier and why.

Activity Four - (Safety & Hygiene)
Either have an open discussion about safety and hygiene in the kitchen and ask the Cubs to suggest things they know or if you have a kitchen in your meeting place then spend 5 mintues arranging it in unsafe way (electrical wires near water, pot handles hanging over edges, knives left out etc). Take each six into the kitchen at a time and give them some small post-it notes and ask them to stick them to anything they think is dangerous.
