Getting Kids to Our Restaurant!

What makes this menu exciting to children?


What makes this one appealing to parents?

What do you notice about this menu? What do you like about? What don't you like about it?

What do you think makes this menu a real success with younger children?

How do you feel about this menu? What do you like? Dislike?

What kind of food comes with these meals? 
Why do you think the food was not the main focus for these commercials?



Why do you think there is generally more than 1 toy available?

Why do they have "boy toys" and "girl toys" instead of just one type of toy?
How do you feel when you see a toy you want but you "aren't the right gender" to have it?
Is there ever really boy toys and girl toys or are all toys for anyone?
What about this picture makes you feel like the Bakugan toys are for boys and the Pony toys are for girls?


These are toys that were available in a Happy Meal in the 1980s. What has changed since then?





Brainstorm some ideas for some things you would want to include at our restaurant for children. What things do we need to purchase for our restaurant to accommodate children?

Anything by Hedley

This is the song our class is working on for Music in Term 2. Please review the lyrics so we are ready to sing! We have gone through all of the lyrics together as a class and are regularly working on the song in class. I have included a video of the song here as well. The music video is not Grade 2 appropriate, and there is another version of the song that has some inappropriate language for school. I suggest you use this version to practice! :)




Anything, Hedley (Clean Version)
Everybody said you better stay in school,
Get a real job boy, don’t be a fool!
Burn that guitar you can never be a star
I can, I can, I can, so…

A thousand disbelievers couldn't keep me on the 
     ground,
I've invented a momentum that will never slow     
     me down,
I believe it cause I feel it, and I’ll shout it out loud:
I can, I can, I can, so…

Everybody said boy don't go any higher!
Uh uh,  forget that, I can do anything!
Never push the limit and don't play with fire!
Uh uh, forget that, I can do anything!

Na na na na na na na,
Na na na na na na
Wear my heart on my fist, take you by surprise 
     fighter!
Uh uh, forget that, I can do anything!

Ha ha ha, ok ok ok,
Be a movie star, or rock the main stage,
An Xbox tester or an astronaut in space.
If they tell you that you can’t, you can shove it in      
     their face
I can, I can, I can, so…

A hundred thousand disbelievers couldn't keep 
     me on the ground,
I've invented a momentum that will never slow 
     me down,
I believe it cause I feel it, and I’ll shout it out loud:
I can, I can, I can, so…

Everybody said boy don't go any higher!
Uh uh,  forget that, I can do anything!
Never push the limit and don't play with fire!
Uh uh, forget that, I can do anything!
Na na na na na na na
na na na na na na 
Wear my heart on my fist, take you by surprise 
     fighter!
Uh uh, forget that, I can do anything!

Yeah!
(I can do anything)
Never try, never win, never get a break,
You miss 100% of the shots you never take!
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo 
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

Everybody said boy don't go any higher!
Uh uh,  forget that, I can do anything!
Never push the limit and don't play with fire!
Uh uh, forget that, I can do anything! 

Everybody said boy don't go any higher!
Uh uh,  forget that, I can do anything!
Never push the limit and don't play with fire!
Uh uh, forget that, I can do anything!

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Wear my heart on my fist take you by surprise 
     fighter,
Uh uh, forget that, I can do anything!

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Everybody said boy don't go any higher!

Uh uh, forget that, I can do anything!
