Free Rome food printables for kids: a colorful series of food printables for kids to motivate them to learn and try traditional Rome food and give their very own expert opinion and score to Rome’s staples.
Rome has an exceptional food tradition which sets the city apart from other places in Italy. Because while in Rome you find all traditional Italian staples, the city is also home to specialties that are just from here: carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe are all specifically from the Rome area!
I cook, write and eat extensively about food from Rome: if you follow this blog, you may have already come across my self guided food tour of Rome city center with my favorite places, all my tips about where to eat in Rome and my recipes from Rome (I am from here!).
If you haven’t seen them, follow the links and they’ll come up!
Today, I want to share something different: some fun printables for kids you can use to keep them motivated to try different things and they can use to score their own experiences.
The include:
- A cover they can personalise with their own name
- Best gelato place chart
- Best pasta place chart
- Best Pizza Place chart
- Best gelato flavor chart
- Rome specialities chart
- Italian Food chart
- Rome special pastas chart
- A secret list of the best gelato places in Rome
They are designed so you can print them as a booklet for them to fill as you go. You can print one of each or, for the gelato, pizza and pasta shops, I recommend you print a good few so they can score each place.
Good to know! I know kids may not like everything and you may not want to waste money on a gelato flavor they don’t like. But you don’t have to! If you go to a gelato place that is not overrun, you can ask if they give them a little taste with a disposable spoon. If they don’t like it, you can then revert to a favorite flavor! You can ask ‘Possiamo avert un piccolo assaggio, per favore?’ which means: can we have a small taste please.
