Fun Ways to Teach Food Safety

This post may contain affiliate links.

I used to be a Family and Consumer Science (home economics) teacher before having kids. One of the subjects I taught in our foods class was food safety and kitchen sanitation.  Safety and sanitation may not be the most exciting subject to teach to kids, but I have a few fun ideas to help kids learn the basics about keeping a kitchen safe and clean.

Teaching Food Safety to Kids

First, I wrote a little 6-page mini booklet to teach kids about the basics of sanitation in the kitchen. This can be purchased in my shop.

I have also found a couple of fun online resources that you can use to teach your kids more about it.

How Dad Got Sick- e-book from USDA

Food Safe Families toolkit from USDA– free downloadable materials to teach kids about food safety

Scrub Club– a website for kids with videos, games, and other activities to teach sanitation and cleanliness. There is also a teacher/parent section.

Fight Bac This website has movies, activities, lessons and all kinds of fun stuff for all grades.

Nourish Interactive Website– This site is focused on nutrition for kids, but they have a section on food safety and hand washing to teach kids sanitation.

Home Food Safety has a download for kids on food safety.
