Great Presidents explores the culinary preferences of each former president of the United States. We’ll begin by identifying the three branches of government and particularly explore the executive branch. Starting from 1789 to 2023, we'll discover what region of the U.S. each president comes from and how each culture brought different ingredients to the presidential kitchen.
Students will learn the importance of geography and its influence on agriculture. Through food and cooking kids will learn about the origins of certain customs we carry on to this day. Upper grades will identify and compare the different viewpoints, challenges, and accomplishments of each president. We’ll take a look at each president's time in the White House and learn how historical events influenced what they ate and how presidents directed the nation.
Learning the various meals eaten during each president's time in office is a great way to connect the past with the current world, helping students connect social studies, food, and history into their daily lives.
Our program has visuals and interactive cooking activities for all students. We'll bring informative facts to build students' interest in exploring history.
Our program is priced for up to 300 students, extra students will be pro-rated.
