Everything we use—like food, clothes, gadgets, and furniture—needs to be made first. This uses many raw materials and resources. In this activity, learners follow the journey of a grain of wheat to understand how production, processing, and consumption are connected. To start, learners are asked where our food comes from and how it reaches our homes.
Noted on a poster or the board
The pupils draw cards with names on them (e.g. farmer, truck driver, harvest worker, seed manufacturer, etc.). Pupils with the same role get together and discuss what their tasks are for the provision of food and what activities they carry out. Once the learners have set themselves up correctly, each group takes turns explaining what happens to the grain of wheat and what their role is in it. The role play illustrates the path a product takes before it ends up on our plates.
