Our Class/School Cultural Recipe Book template and Procedural Writing Activity helps students explore culture, identity, and food traditions while learning how to write a recipe (procedural text). Students share a food from their culture and work together to create a meaningful class cultural recipe book.

This activity is perfect for Harmony Day, Cultural Day, or multicultural classroom projects. It supports writing development while also celebrating the diverse backgrounds of your students.

Students write about:

• where they were born
• their family background
• a special cultural dish
• the ingredients
• the instructions for making the food

The finished pages can then be combined into a beautiful class or school Cultural Recipe Book that students can proudly share with their classmates and families.

This resource works well for primary classrooms, ESL / EAL/D learners, and multicultural school communities.
