Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Ask students to help you prepare vegetable soup. Imitate going to the grocery store to purchase vegetables.
  • Then, have all the students use their imagination to pretend to pour water in a pot to cook vegetables.
  • Show students how to imitate chopping up vegetables, scooping them off of the chopping board and into the water.
  • Remind them to wait for the water to boil in order for the soup to be able to "cook."
  • In the meantime, pretend to add salt, pepper, water, and other ingredients for extra flavor.
