Classroom Tips

Bring in real vegetables, hold up actual vegetables as you call them. Students who have never seen a Leek or Parsnip will remember it forever after seeing and touching the real thing.

Sort by plant part, after the game challenge students to classify each vegetable by which part of the plant we eat: root (Carrot, Radish, Parsnip), stem (Celery, Leek, Asparagus), leaf (Kale, Arugula, Bok Choy, Cabbage, Swiss Chard, Watercress), flower (Broccoli, Cauliflower, Artichoke), fruit (Bell Pepper, Eggplant, Zucchini, Butternut Squash, Corn, Tomato), bulb (Onion, Garlic).

Taste test challenge, pair the bingo game with a vegetable tasting station. Students try a small piece of each vegetable as it's called.

Connect to world cuisines, Bok Choy (Chinese cooking), Arugula (Italian), Artichoke (Mediterranean), Watercress (British), Leek (French and Welsh), great for multicultural education.
