EXPERIENCE BAKE N PLAY IN YOUR SCHOOL
See What Happens When Baking Becomes More Than a Recipe
What if a simple baking experience could reveal how children think, solve problems, work together and discover what they're capable of?
Invite Bake N Play into your school for a complimentary whole-class demonstration and experience our approach to practical learning first-hand.
Your pupils won't simply watch someone cook.
They'll be encouraged to wonder, predict, share ideas, solve problems, work together and take pride in what they achieve.
BOOK YOUR COMPLIMENTARY DEMONOT A COOKING DEMONSTRATION. A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
We don't stand at the front and show children how to follow a recipe.
We create opportunities for them to think.
During a Bake N Play demonstration, pupils are challenged to ask questions, make predictions, contribute ideas and solve problems together, while selected children take part in the practical food preparation.
What do you notice?
What do you think will happen?
Why do you think that?
What could we try?
What happens if it doesn't work?
Could there be another solution?
And slowly, something much bigger than a recipe begins to happen.
Children become curious.
They start thinking for themselves.
They become willing to try.
They discover that mistakes can become problems to solve.
They listen to one another.
They contribute.
They achieve something together.
And they experience the pride of discovering: "I can do this."
The Learning Journey
WHAT COULD YOUR DEMONSTRATION LOOK LIKE?
Our complimentary demonstrations can be adapted around curriculum priorities, seasonal themes and the needs of your pupils.
THE PIZZERIA CHALLENGE
Can one class work together to turn a simple pizza into a successful pizzeria? Pupils become Food Scientists, Budget & Nutrition experts and Sales & Marketing thinkers as they use science, maths, communication and teamwork to solve one shared challenge.

THE BREAD MYSTERY
What transforms a few simple ingredients into bread? Children explore flour, yeast and water through prediction, questioning and problem-solving, discovering the fascinating science happening inside something as familiar as a loaf of bread.
Perfect for:
THE HEALTHY CHOICES CHALLENGE
What does making a good choice really mean? Children explore food, colour, variety and healthy choices while being encouraged to think independently, explain their decisions and consider different possibilities.
Perfect for:
STORYBOOK KITCHEN
What happens when a story escapes from the page and enters the kitchen? Children use imagination, sequencing, communication and practical food experiences to explore familiar stories in a completely different way.

KINDNESS KITCHEN
Can something as simple as preparing food help us become better team players? Children discover the importance of listening, sharing ideas, helping one another and recognising that different people bring different strengths to a team.
Perfect for:
THE CHILDREN EXPERIENCE THE FUN. YOU SEE THE LEARNING.
While your pupils are absorbed in the challenge, something else is happening underneath.
You may see the quiet child volunteer an idea.
The hesitant child decide to try.
A group disagree — and learn how to find a solution.
A child make a mistake and discover that it doesn't mean they've failed.
Someone ask for help.
Someone else offer it.
And a child who wasn't sure they could do something experience the pride of discovering that they can.
