Tell children they are going to watch the Between the Lions video “Bee-bim Bop!” Explain that it is the video of the book they read yesterday.
Before You Watch

After You Watch
Discuss the video with children. Ask children to name some of the plants Mama uses to make bee-bim bop. (carrots, spinach, garlic, green onions, sprouts) Ask, Can you tell me what part of the plant each one comes from?
If possible, have some of the ingredients for children to see, touch, and smell. If not, have them point to any of the foods they see on the Food Wall display. Then ask,
- Do you think you would like to have bee-bim bop for your dinner? Can you tell me what you think it would taste like?
- What foods would you put in your bee-bim bop?

Bop! Bop! Bop!
Mix it up! Mix it up!
Bee-bim bop!
