Use the food unit worksheets as a very cost-effective resource. If you don’t access to a lot of other active materials, just print and copy for your class. If you want to cut cost even more, place them in a clear plastic sheet and students write on them with a dry erase marker and then erase with a napkin. So, check all the worksheets included in the resource.

There is a set of vocabulary building worksheets to keep students actively engaged.The worksheets are a way into guiding your learners to learn.

This set will offer a hand-on way to reinforcing the new vocabulary even more for the very young learners. If the students cut them, they are cards to keep handy for writing or make them a matching game to play with classmates or at home.


These are the visual learning worksheets that involve drawing. They provide the opportunity for the students to draw the vocabulary words making a connection between them. Have the students draw the drinks as in the example, cut and paste on paper and then write sentences.

Students will draw on the worksheet as they express their creativity by illustrating the food and drinks words. This will be an enjoyable activity leading to the retention of the vocabulary.

Let’s use these worksheets as recapitulation to review the previously unit taught units such as the face. Reinforce the vocabulary and enhance the retention of those concepts.

Have the students review the family members as a way to consolidate the learning of that previous theme. They will apply their knowledge of those words in a new context such as the foods unit making connections between both units to express likes or dilikes.

I love to include questionnaire worksheets in all the resources of this Serie. This is where students put in use their linguistic competence with a simple directed dialogue. They encourage the students to read a question to a classmate and have to write the answer. It is a practice for paeaking, listening and writing. You can also graph results on the board.
