Making Cookies

In this activity from the Philippines, students participate in each step of the sequence, from washing hands to getting out the materials, through each step of the actual cooking activity, to cleaning up, and enjoying the snack that they prepared. A predictable routine that follows a given sequence helps the students to become increasingly independent.
