To introduce the concept of procedures by guiding students through the steps of making a simple sandwich. This will help them understand the importance of following steps in order to achieve a goal.
Start with an exciting question to capture their attention:
“Who loves sandwiches? What do you like to put in your sandwich?”
Encourage a brief discussion where students can share their preferences. This not only warms them up but also sparks interest in the lesson.
Next, say:
“Today, we’re going to learn about something very important called a procedure. A procedure is a series of steps we follow to do something. Just like making a sandwich—we can’t just throw everything together; we have to follow steps!”
Show the Ingredients: Present the toy food items or pictures and explain that each item represents a step in making a sandwich.
Display the Poster: Point to the “How to Make a Sandwich" poster, which outlines the steps:
Explain that the class will work together to create their own "sandwich" using toy food. Call students up one by one to pick an ingredient while narrating the steps together as you go along.
“First, we take one slice of bread! Who wants to come and help?”
Wrap up the lesson by emphasizing:
“Just like we followed the steps to make our delicious sandwich, we can apply procedures in many things we do every day!”
Invite students to share other activities that involve procedures (like brushing teeth, getting dressed, etc.) to connect the lesson to their daily lives.
By starting the lesson with an engaging activity and showing how procedures fit into real-life experiences, students will be more eager to learn and participate. Happy teaching!
