You will need a large mixing bowl and a spoon. Ask each child to bring his/her favorite fruit to school. Wash and cut fruit into small pieces. In small groups, encourage the children to create their own recipe for a friendship fruit salad by combining the different fruit that each person brought to share: 1 cup of Alex's pineapple, 1 cup of Maria's banana. Encourage the children's language by prompting them to request different fruits to add to the recipe. For example, “Alex can you add your pineapple to our fruit salad?” Write the recipe down and share with families.
