Breakfast is the start of the day
With cereal, eggs or toast to play
Pour some juice to wash it down
And fuel up before we go to town

Soup for lunch is always great
Warm and tasty, it's never late
And with a spoon we slurp it up
In every single delicious cup

Dinner time is the best
We get to eat our favorite quest
A juicy steak with sauce on top
And with a fork and knife we chop

So remember kids, each meal is neat
With utensils to make it complete
Use your spoon, fork, and knife with care
And enjoy your food without a care!

Reflections

Here are a few questions to ask kids to think about the poem:

1. What are some of your favorite foods to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
2. What kind of juice do you like to drink with your breakfast?
3. Have you ever eaten soup with a spoon before? What kind of soup was it?
4. How do you use a fork and knife to eat a steak?
5. Why is it important to use utensils properly when eating?
