Cooking with Kids: Frosted Holiday Spice Cupcakes (Non-holiday Version Included)
- Google Slides™
Description
Welcome to Cooking with Kids, your ticket to teaching students to cook virtually!
Cooking With Kids activities work especially well during distance learning! At what other time would you be able to have each student make a recipe at the same time, with enough space and resources for all? And with no expense to you! With distance learning and Cooking Class by Zoom, every student has access to a full kitchen and also adult supervision. They also learn how to set up their supplies and clean up after, both essential parts of cooking that may be overlooked in a classroom setting. An added bonus is the low cost, as each family buys their own supplies and ingredients! This also allows families to adjust recipes to fit their needs. If a student is allergic to the spinach in Cheesy Stovetop Pasta, they can omit it, or substitute with another type of greens. On several occasions, families have chosen to double a recipe, as was the case with Amish Sugar Cookies. The family gave a few dozen as neighborhood gifts, while freezing others for baking at a later date.
Getting students motivated can be difficult during distance learning. I have used Cooking With Kids activities both as a reward for students who complete all the week’s work, and as a fun party activity (Mason Jar Ice Cream). As a reward for completed work, this has been very effective and has led to a dramatic increase in the number of students doing assignments.
This recipe is for Frosted Holiday Spice Cupcakes, a great choice to get your students in the holiday mood! This recipe was so popular with my students that one student's grandmother requested it as her choice for her birthday cake! If you have students that do not celebrate holidays, Frosted Winter Spice Cupcake slides are also included so that no one is left out. Just make a copy of the different slides, assigning the holiday version to some students and the winter version to others!
All Cooking with Kids products includes the recipe, a supply list, and a teacher's guide. The guide includes tips for implementation during distance learning, suggestions fo facilitating discussions during the cooking class that tie to math and science, as well as a measurement experiment with 2 mini lessons.
