Hunter Gatherer Menu exemplars

Zachary Cain

As we wrap up Unit 6, our students really love to complete the Hunter-Gatherer Menu Activity. For this activity, we turned it into an actual "menu" project where students create a full menu for their restaurant. We let them loose with the project this mid-week, and the results were fantastic. It was amazing to see how much effort and engagement they put into this project, especially since they had to power through Investigation 6 earlier in the week.







  • , these are amazing menus! Can you share how you structure this with your middle school students? What resources do you have them use?
  • A few years ago, shared a PowerPoint for the Hunter-gatherer menu. We took that information and then turned it into the hands-on menu project that we have been using with our kiddos for the last few years. I have attached the document that we give the students in terms of structuring the project.

  • Thanks for the shout out . Those menus look incredible. I also love this activity, the kids get so into it, the learning if fantastic.. I have included my original W/S and PP from 2017. I have a draft that I hope to expand on this year maybe for the mid year Parent night, which the Hunter gather menus become pop up food stalls for the parent night. I will look to get the catering students on board through the home economic department.

  • We were thinking something along the same lines. Possibly like an episode of Chopped, where we give them a Paleolithic basket of ingredients and they have to come up with a dish using all of the ingredients. We were also talking about doing a version of Beat Bobby Flay or "Beat Mr. Cain".
  • Love this project! We are doing it in a week or two. Always a big hit! We are thinking about having kids bring in samples of their menu items. We shall see!
  • That's exciting! This is great way to bring in the community!
