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 to use with the diversity of students in your class.

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.

These worksheets will provide your students with exposure to a variety of sentences structures to contribute to language acquisition.

Love to use worksheets to review previous units. Combine listening to creativity by doing this worksheet. Numbers 1 to 20 in a sandwich. By listening to your instructions, students learn to follow spoken directions. Students will expand their vocabulary in another context by associating a color to a number. Reviewing numbers 1 to 20 is crucial to your learners. Understanding numbers is important for classroom instructions, such as lookingup a page in their books, for writing the date and more. 

 This can also be a speaking activity.                                                                                            Ask the color of each number: What color is number 20?
Students: pink!

Take a look!

These worksheets are here to improve reading comprehension. Students will understand the sentences in the context and respond appropriately, with the result of effective communication. As for Grammar there is yes/no question + be worksheet.

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.

Graphing the favorite food. Do this one as a simple survey by placing the options on the board, using the flashcards: pizza, hamburger, chicken, fries, hot dog, salad. Create a bar graph on the board as they will come with their worksheet and place it under their option bar. Tally the results.

Food surveys are always fun! Many options you can think of and the students will come up with even more surveying ideas.

Another idea! Print some of the worksheets or all of them, bind and there you have got a booklet. The cover is included.  Preparing this or any booklet is a ready-to-use resource at hand. The booklet keeps all exercises in one place, making it easier to plan lessons sequentially.

Here is my printable version of the booklet with a clear visual of what it looks like. Students can use the booklet for extra practice at home. As students complete the worksheets within the booklet, they can see their progress.

Prepare your booklet and send me your pictures. I would love to see them. Here is a peek at mine.
