Resource:Chopsticks Lesson Plan
Provider:Asia Education
Summary:Try your hand at chopsticks while learning how they came to be!
Description:Using the two student handouts provided with this lesson plan you and your children will learn the origin of chopsticks, compare chopsticks with other eating utensils and will learn to use chopsticks while dining on rice or noodles.

A short geography lesson will be had when you mark the chopstick eating countries on a map with chopstick symbols you make. And then a small art lesson will follow when you dye bamboo chopsticks with food coloring.

In all it is a very short lesson but will give you an idea as to why chopsticks came to be plus a snack of fried rice and lo mien to boot.

**In the past, we have made up games to strengthen our use of chopsticks. Try picking up M&M's, Conversation Hearts, marshmallows, dried peas and beans...look around your kitchen and see what you can find! We have also used our excess chopsticks for building cricket cages. ;-)
