Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Explain that the children will work with a partner to remember about the journey of beef from farm to table. Display the Presentation: Fact tennis and arrange the children in pairs. Ask them to take turns sharing one fact at a time about how beef gets from the farm to our plates.

Give each child one minute to talk. Encourage them not to repeat any facts.
