In my experience, they do not give the kids anything like enough time to eat; and they require that the kids all finish before they can go play -- thus making them choose between eating and play. Guess which boys always choose?<br>Second is that in about Kindergarten, kids seem to outgrow the morning snack. My 8-year-old son eats an enormous breakfast and a regular lunch -- and has absolutely no appetite at 10:00 in the morning. Hasn't for years.<br>Finally (for your future), in about 2nd grade, boys start making fun of other boys' lunches, if they are at all nutritious. There's a lot of peer pressure to have either Lunchables or sandwich, chips, and a cookie. My kid won't eat either daily (thank goodness), so our agreement with each other is that he will eat the leftover bits of his lunch as an after school snack, with a couple of other additions (usually he comes home with vegetables, and I add olives or nuts and a few whole-wheat crackers).

They get a whole 15 minutes combined for snack and playtime. Some kids don't even bring a snack at this point. I think if I were 5 I would pick play over snack too.

It has worked wonders! The kids actually eat their lunch and they come into the classroom much more ready to learn.
