an educational and fuN experience

Are you a school or organization interested in bringing Real Food 4 Kids food education programs to your students? We offer in-person (in the Des Moines metro) and virtual food education classes taught by instructors from Real Food 4 Kids. You may also purchase specially designed curricula for each grade level for use in your school or organization. These lessons are an invaluable resource for classrooms and homeschool programs. Each curriculum is teacher and principal backed and offers specific objectives, key takeaways, and hands-on activities to help students better understand each lesson.

Our kids will have to make choices about food every day of their life, so let’s give them the tools to develop lifelong skills that will impact their health in a positive way! With grade-appropriate, interactive lessons, we use math, science, art, and plenty of real-world examples to teach kids and teens about food.

We believe:

✔︎ When learning about food, students have the opportunity to come together and apply science, math, and art.
✔︎ Students need to know where food comes from and how it’s produced.
✔︎ Students need to know how to read a label and understand what they’re eating.
✔︎ Students need to know how food marketing impacts their choices.
✔︎ Students need to know the basics of how to cook.

During each in-person or virtual class, a Real Food 4 Kids instructor will teach participants how to trace their favorite foods back to their roots and prepare simple snacks that they can replicate at home. They'll learn where food comes from, how it's produced, benefits and drawbacks of processed foods and why it's important to read the ingredients on a food label.

The Real Food 4 Kids Food Education Curriculum includes 15 individual lessons, which may be utilized individually and by grade level. The lessons:

• Provide a natural progression through a variety of important food education topics.

• Guide students through a comprehensive assessment of each topic.

• Provide hands-on learning.

• Include a recommended food activity and corresponding recipe.

• Offer a variety of optional activities to explore each topic in-depth.

• Are backed by teachers, pediatricians, and dieticians.
