Vote for the class snack. Give the children three different snacks to taste and determine which ones they like the most. Create a graph with pictures of each item at the top, such as pretzels, cheese crackers or graham crackers. Write the words, “Which do you like?” To get an accurate count, allow the children to vote for each item they like. If the children like all three, they can write their name under all three. Analyze the data with the children. “Let's count, 14 children like pretzels, 16 children like cheese crackers and 21 children like graham crackers. Which one does the graph tell us we should serve for snack?”
