An introduction to the diet of the ancient Greeks by tasting!
This resource can be used at the start of a learning journey on Ancient Greece, to engage, or at the end. I have also used it the day before a ‘Fabulous Finish’ (Ancient Greek Day) where the children dressed in costumes, designed their own Greek pottery and carved in clay, held a mini Olympic games tournament and then marched into a feast, giving due honour to Zeus before eating. It worked well in this manner, because the children were already aware of the types of foods they would be sampling and why.

The resource includes:

  1. Presentation on the diet of the Ancient Greeks.
  2. A printable Menu - edit on the ppt to include the food you have bought
  3. Slides to show what foods are going to be sampled
  4. A printout where children can rate the food, based on its appearance and texture and taste etc. (Print from ppt)
  5. A suggested follow up task - where children design their own menus, of Ancient Greek style food, using effusive persuasive language.

All the food types included, are easy to source, and I found Aldi/Lidl extremely good value for 60 pupils. Most children gagged on the anchovies, but it was part of the fun - they all loved the goats cheese/greek yoghurt squeezy honey combo (and some were eating the honey simply on its own!)

I hope you enjoy using this resource.
