COLOURING IN INCENTIVES 
Students are given a sheet of food pictures.

INFO FOR TEACHERS 
There's no set-in-stone way of using this activity pack - every teacher and their studio is unique and I embrace that! I've included a sheet outlining how I personally used Chef Rescue in my studio - hopefully you'll be inspired by my usage! If you want more suggestions or inspiration as to how you could use them with your studio set up, don't hesitate to send me a message!
