Inspire your Food Technology cherubs to take pride in their recipe presentation.
This little slip can assist you to identify the name of the student who prepared the dish which is useful for assessment practicals as well as sharing student work on school social media pages and to keep as a record of achievement.
It provides a space for students to write their name, the recipe name, a star rating and 3 words describing the dish.
The pdf comes as a digital download coloured version and black and white so you can choose what works best for you. 4 ‘Oh Snap’ recipe identifiers are on each page so you can hand out one page per bay and students can cut them out. You can choose to laminate them, and students can write on them in whiteboard marker or they can simply write on the paper and glue them in their workbook after the photo is taken.
Pack includes:
- 1 x A4 coloured digital download of 4 recipe identifier slips
- 1 x A4 black and white digital download of 4 recipe identifier slips

A fun twist on the engaging game ‘SNAP’.
This is a versatile resource that can be used for a variety of stages to meet outcomes that relate to safety within Food Technology or Hospitality. This is played using the same principles of traditional snap.
The game can be played in groups of 4 and the deck should be dealt out evenly into 4 piles of cards. Each player starts with their decks face down and places cards onto the pile without looking at them beforehand. If a player places a card on top of a card that is identical, whoever snaps the pile fastest wins the round and they add the pile of cards to their existing hand. You keep playing until there are no cards left.
The safety snap must be printed twice in order to have a full deck of cards (40 cards). Ideally, there would be multiple games of safety snap playing in the classroom at once. Each Safety Snap card has a picture and information displayed on it that relate to safety in the food technology classroom. There are also two safety worksheets that accompany this activity.
Pack includes:
- 20 Safety Snap Cards (must be printed twice for a full deck of 40 cards)
- 2 x Student Worksheets
