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.

Promote active learning with the small cards, which are a smaller version from the bigger flashcards. With this teaching tools students will engage in different activities or games that you will plan to improve the retention of the new vocabulary from this unit. Just dropping several ideas to use them.


Set the conditions for learning by using this kind of activity. Sorting is still a valuable teaching tool that I bring from Kindergarten to the Primary and Elementary grades. Sorting the food into food and drinks will provide another way to practice the vocabulary. Have them explain why they put a card into any category. They can do this on the board or a table to reinforce the key langauge.

Sorting food cards

Students will use their ability to classify or categorize the food unit cards encouraging their critical thinking.

classify or categorize the food cards

Personalizing/Personalising activities for your students makes it more relevant to them. They have the opportunity to connect what they are learning to their own experience, thought or likes, making the activity more engaging. Place all the small cards on a table for them to go pick the ones that they would plan a meal for themselves. They can take them to their desk, draw the items and write down the food in their meals. They can come up front and show their meal and have the students say if they liked it or not.


Personalizing/Personalising

Inspire Communication with this activity. Hand in the picture food small cards to a group of students and the order ticket to the other half. The students with the small cards should be at their desks with the cards facing down. The students with the order tickets should stand up and walk around looking for the items to complete their order, asking questions: Do you have a hamburger? If the student has the card, they have to give it to the student.

The first student to complete the order ticket comes to the front and will take fist place. Students will stand in the corresponding order. Give specific feedback as you highlight the correct question that you hear: Pete, I heard you ask correct questions, very good!

Perfect for visually oriented students to support the comprehension and memory of the new vocabulary.

What is Nick cooking?

 What about food that they don’t like. Same thing, have them pick up the food flashcards that will express their preference.

Student 2: I don’t like soup and eggs.

Have the students select the food that they would have for breakfast or lunch and place it under the word.

Play an easy game. Say the color of a food item and the students have to name it: white and yellow!
Students: egg!

food item flashcards

Model some sentences with positive and negative sentence using the flashcards:
Student 1: I have a sandwich.
Student 2: I don’t have a sandwich. I have a hamburger.

Have the children create a classroom menu using the flashcards. Tell them that as a class they will put up a menu. Then, ask: What’s on the menu to eat?
Student: pizza! Fries! Hamburger, chicken! Hotdog! Salad
Teacher: What’s on the menu to drink?
Student: milk, soda, lemonade, orange juice.

This is an idea to extend the lesson. Students can then make their own menu on their notebooks or paper, using the words they know or any other food items that they want to include. Then do a show and tell of all the menu.
