Create Your Own Menu

Creating a menu teaches children several things. First, they must be creative in coming up with delicious dishes. Second, they must create prices for each dish that a customer is willing to pay, but that will still net them a profit. Finally, they must use their computer skills to put the menu together. Some other requirements that should go along with this project including coming up with a name for the restaurant the menu is supposedly being written for, and organizing the menu according to a theme. For example, you wouldn't be serving sushi in an Italian restaurant. Give your child a grade based on originality, following your directions, and believability.
