Invite children to watch the video clip Between the Lions “Opposite Bunny: yucky/yummy,” about an animated bunny that is a superhero. Opposite Bunny’s special power is the ability to change something yucky into something yummy. Explain that the word yummy is the opposite of yucky. Say, When something tastes yummy, it tastes good. When something tastes yucky, it tastes bad. Bad and good are opposites—two things that are totally different from each other. Encourage children to name other opposite pairs.
Educator Tip: Talk with children about how different people have different likes and dislikes when it comes to food. Often we tend to like the kinds of foods that we are most familiar with. Encourage children to talk about a time they tried a new food and what happened—did they like it? Were they happy they tried it?
