This resource includes:

  • A 3-part video that will take your students on a journey behind the scenes of a favourite snack (crackers, cheese and carrots) to meet some of the Manitoba farmers and processors who grow and process your food.

Younger students make a folding plate and older students make a fortune teller (see photo above). This activity is available both as a physical kit (only in MB) or as a downloadable:
