So my Islamic School is having a 4 week summer camp, couple hours each day of the week. One of the things we’ll be doing is cooking lessons for the kids. Kids will be from ages 5-16.
I need some ideas on what to prepare in cooking class that doesn’t require actual cooking. I need 4 items, one for each week, something that the kids will enjoy. So far I have come up with the following:
Sandwiches. We can do cheese, cucumber, chicken [teachers can prepare chicken at home and bring it in]…other suggestions please.
Fruit salad. We can have older kids cut up the fruit and the little ones mix up.
Can you not bring a hot-plate in that will cook some stuff?
Noor’s teacher does that in the classroom.
How about vegetable skewers? Older kids can cut up the veggies and the younger ones can skewer. They can each take some home to bbq with parents.
I would do fruit skewers too…like the edible arrangements?
Just get small earth pots from dollar store (1 per child) and let them make 3 or four skewers each…
We do have a partial kitchen: sink, oven and microwave. We are trying to avoid using it just because of logistics. If we can do without it, it will be better. The oven is old and hasn't been used in ages. Don't want it to blow. :D I can bring in a hot plate but we have rowdy kids so I'm avoiding that.
I like the fruit skewers idea! And pineapple soufflé!
Peanut butter and jam wheels (confirm no one has allergies). Have them combine the PB and Jam on a wrap, roll it, and then slice so that it makes wheels. Similar to a chocolate swiss role cake.
Smiley apples. Slice up apples (with red skin on) into thin slices and spread some peanut butter on them. Use white halal marshmallows in between the two apple slices. It should look like red lips (apple slices) and teeth (marshmallows)
U can call them: Smile! It’s Sunnah Slices
A parfait with oats, fruits and yoghurt. Drizzle with honey
