mom31257 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Does anyone have any easy suggestions for food/crafts/games from South America? I am teaching a co-op class Monday and having a hard time finding things that I can use. I have 2 classes ranging from K through middle school. The younger class does have a child with a lot of allergies, but the mom has said she'll bring something if he can't have what I find. He has dairy, soy, corn, peanuts, beef, rice, eggs, and apples I know. If anybody has suggestions, I would be so grateful. The things I'm finding are so expensive, complicated to make, or I don't know how to get the ingredients. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 How about some fruits? Or a nice cooked greens dish (as in collards or kale)? I thought Brazilians eat a lot of that with rice & beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquelyn in NC Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Some ideas from our co-op this fall: Guacamole. I gave each student a quarter of an avocado, let them peel it and mush it up in a bowl, and add onion, tomatoes, and hot sauce to their liking. Eat with tortilla chips. Kites are quite popular in Chile. If it's a nice day, they can test them outside after they make them. You can find a lot of nice easy patterns online if you need one. Brazil has Carnival. We made carnival masks using black eye masks from Hobby Lobby. Ours were birds, so I cut out a triangle of craft foam and glued it on the masks for beaks, then let them glue on feathers and tissue paper squares. There are a lot of good folk stories from South America. Check your library. We counted from 1-10 in Spanish and Portuguese. Hope that gives you a starting point.
