In the Chocolate Kitchen at the Chocolatarium, students will have the chance to make their own chocolate.

This lesson pack is designed to be used pre-visit alongside the Ingredients Cards and the Colour Describing

Words and Images Cards to ensure that students know what all the possible ingredients are, allow them to

think about which ones they might like to use and get them to think about packaging designs for chocolate.

They can them use the Chocolate Bar Wrapper Template to design the bar. This can be done individually or

in groups.
