1

Warm-up (5 min) – Show pictures of breakfasts from different countries; students guess where each is from (Brainstorming)

2

Mini research (5–10 min) – In pairs, pick one country and use WHO resources to find out if it’s a healthy breakfast and why.

3

Share & reflect (5 min) – Pairs share one fun fact or health insight with the class.

Didactic tips:

  • Turn it into a quick “Breakfast World Tour” where each group presents one slide or image.
  • Use a globe or map to mark where each breakfast comes from.
  • Follow up later with a local “healthy breakfast challenge.”
