Fruit Salad: Procedure Jumble

Overview:

A jumbled fruit salad recipe activity where students cut and paste to arrange the steps, pictures, and headings in the correct order. Designed for middle years students to enhance sequencing and procedural writing skills.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop organisational skills by sequencing the steps in a recipe.
• Understand the structure of a recipe, including headings, ingredients, and instructions.
• Improve reading comprehension and ability to follow instructions.

How the Activity Works:

The fruit salad recipe is provided in a jumbled order, with steps, pictures, and headings mixed up. Students will cut and paste the pieces to correctly sequence the recipe, from gathering ingredients to serving the fruit salad. After sequencing, students can review the steps, discussing how to make the fruit salad and the importance of each step in the process. This interactive activity helps students practice organisational skills while engaging with a fun, hands-on task.
