Audience: Elementary school students
Making “tasting passports” is a great idea, fun, easy, has lots of educational possibilities and these folks have organized the activity very nicely. Begin by asking students if they have ever traveled to another country. Ask if anyone knows what a passport is. Explain that when people travel to other countries, they must have passports.
