Key learning points
- The food skills used to make fruit kebabs are peeling (by hand), cutting and threading.

- We all need to have more fruit and vegetables.
- We can describe the appearance, smell and taste of fruit, and evaluate a recipe based on our food preferences.
Keywords
Peeling - remove the outer skin from fruit
Bridge hold - a safe way to cut food

Common misconception
Only fresh fruit can be used for fruit saald kebabs.
A range of fresh, canned and dried fruit can be used for fruit salad kebabs. Go for a colourful variety.
Teacher tip
You can easily change the fruit, go for something seasonal or perhaps something unfamiliar to your pupils. If the fruit is difficult to peel and/or cut, part-prepare the fruit so that pupils can taste and use it in the lesson. Show pupils the whole fruit, as well as what it looks like when cut.
Equipment
For ingredients and equipment see the recipe in additional materials.
