Activity: Fruit Salad
Aims of the activity:
The aim of this activity is to promote healthy eating and encourage the children to eat more
fruit at home. By doing this activity, the children may find out what other fruits they like and
will eat more of in the future. Furthermore, I’m hoping that the children name the colours
and shapes that they see during this activity.
What are the desired learning outcomes for the activity? (Link to EYFS)
Age: 30-50 months – expected stages of communication and language development:
“Listens to stories with increasing attention and recalls.” (Early education, 2012, p.16)
“Responds to simple instructions.” (Early education, 2012, p.16)
“Questions why things happen and gives explanations.” (Early education, 2012, p.16)
What skills will the children develop when undertaking the activity?
The children will develop their listening and following instructions skills. I will be
encouraging the children to touch the different types of fruit feel the texture of its peel and
name the colours of the fruit. This will also develop their sensory skills and their intellectual
development. Furthermore, the children’s social skills may also develop as they interact
with each other.
What new vocabulary will the children learn while undertaking the activity?
The children may learn the names of the fruit they did not already know before such as
blueberries or kiwi. In addition, they may learn the names of a couple of equipment such as
cutting boards and tablespoons.
Less confident/able children:
I will encourage them to take part in the activity by asking them if they want to put the
chopped up pieces of fruit in the bowl, or stir the fruit with a wooden spoon but if they do
not want to, I will demonstrate it and maybe help them put some fruit in the bowl.
More confident/able children:
While they are putting the fruit in the bowl or stirring, I will ask them to name me some of
the colours that they can see and to name me all of the different types of fruit that they can
see.
I think that this activity is suitable for the 2-3 year olds because it is a great way to make
them see that fruit is colourful and can be used to make creative snacks. Furthermore, a
fruit salad is a good way to encourage them to have more fruit at home and many 2-3 year
olds do know some types of fruit and can name some colours. This activity will be good for
their social, cognitive and physical development.
Group size: Six children
Staff ratio – 1:6
Length of activity: 15-20 minutes
