Scissors & Glue Sticks (optional–depends on activity version selected).iPad or Laptop (optional–depends on activity version selected).Note: I do preface this video by letting the males in class know that I’m not singling them out and these accidents can happen to ANYONE! I’ve never had anyone be offended. To be sure they can apply the categories, show them the YouTube video titled, “ Men in the Kitchen” and have them identify the categories they see illustrated.Then go over the safety hazard categories and have them, once again, share the category(ies) that their hazard represented.For some reason, students really get into sharing their accident stories…not sure if it’s for shock value or not, but they do love to talk about them! Work through each slide, encouraging students to talk about their own personal kitchen hazards. Begin with the slide deck titled, “Kitchen Safety Overview”.

The “ Kitchen Safety Categories & Activities” is one that can be used in both a digital drag & drop style or hand’s on cut & paste style depending on your situation. To me, kitchen safety is primarily about common sense so I don’t spend a ton of time on it, but emphasize it frequently throughout the course and labs. When teaching basic kitchen skills, one of the first lessons I teach is kitchen safety.
