Plan for snacks and refreshments. Keep it simple with finger foods such as chips and dips, veggies, fruits or desert goodies. Or serve food with a theme. If you are having a themed class, roll the theme into your food. An example of this is a Summer Memories class; provide snacks like watermelon, fruit salad or sweets.
