Last night, I sat down for dinner, excited to see what my mom had made. When she put my plate in front of me, I saw something green and different. I was curious and asked, “What’s this green thing?”
My mom smiled and said, “It’s broccoli. Try it, and you might like it.” I was a little unsure, but I decided to take a small bite. To my surprise, I found out that I liked it!
After the first bite, I took another one. Soon, all the broccoli on my plate was gone! I never thought I would enjoy it, but trying it showed me a new taste. Now, I love to say, “Hurray, hurrah for broccoli!”
Feeling happy, I told my mom how much I liked broccoli. “For broccoli, hurray, hurrah!” I shouted. She laughed and joined in, sharing my excitement.
What started as a mystery turned into a fun discovery. By trying new foods, I learned that broccoli can be tasty and fun to eat. Now, I celebrate this green vegetable with a big smile!
Broccoli Taste Test: Ask your family to help you with a fun taste test. Try broccoli in different ways: raw, steamed, or with a little cheese on top. Which way do you like it best? Talk about the different flavors and textures you notice. You can even draw a picture of your favorite way to eat broccoli!
Broccoli Art: Use broccoli to create a piece of art! Dip a piece of broccoli in paint and use it as a stamp to make fun patterns on paper. What shapes and designs can you create? Share your broccoli art with your class or family and see what they think.
Broccoli Detective: The next time you go to the grocery store, be a broccoli detective! Look for broccoli in the vegetable section and see if you can find other vegetables that are green. How many can you find? Can you spot any other vegetables that you haven’t tried yet? Maybe you can try one of them at home and discover a new favorite, just like you did with broccoli!
