Caribbean food and drink

Caribbean cuisine (cooking) is like many other things in the region a result of its interesting history. Only some of the ingredients we think of quintessentially Caribbean belong to the region and were used by indigenous Carib and Taino tribes – ingredients such as yam, papaya, cassava and guava. Other ingredients and dishes were brought to the islands by waves of immigrants from around the world.

How to use this resource

There are 5 Rays, which provide a programme for one year’s sessions for a children’s group running during term-time. For each Ray, there is a set of topics, each of which comprises a theme for a term or half-term.

The sessions are presented in a pick-and-mix way - some information, some games, crafts, videos, etc. You are encouraged to adapt the material to your own setting , the time you have available and the resources you have. Don’t think that you have to do everything on offer.
