Resources and activities about Food

Hello again!

In the recent unit of , we work about food and nutrition, the types of food, good habits and health, etc. And I decided to use one lesson for doing 3 different activities like working stations. In class we have 6 groups, so I prepared 3 games and every 8-10 minutes they pass from one to another. I show you similar games to the ones I used:

  • Food dobble game: maybe you know this famous card game, where you have to look for similar pictures in different cards, and you can play at least in five different ways. On the internet you can find many documents with this game already prepared. You only have to print in colour and laminate the cards. I choose one with only pictures and another with words and pictures. I saw them in the Teachers pay teachers store, in the ISL collective web, etc, like this one.

  • Memory game: you can play it on the interactive whiteboard or you can play it like a board game. I use mine from Abcdeele.com, that you can find it here. Also I printed it in colour and laminate it. If you need quickly one, you can find several types with different food clicking here:

  • comprehensive video: I often use the channel Happy learning to show them in class, the children like these videos very much, and they use an accesible language for them. After watching it, the students have to decided some questions to ask to the class later. In this case, I use this video:

Easter activities plan

Happy holidays and happy Easter!

Today I have prepared a quick lesson plan with some activities preparing vocabulary for Easter.

First of all, I have introduced the topic talking about this festivity and about the different traditions we can find. Especially, we speak about the Easter eggs and the chocolates, that the children love!

I have found many activities in the web of the British Council for kids, Learn English kids. We start with a memory game you can find here and a word game you can see here.

 

After that, we answer some true or false sentencesand play different games like this or this one. 

Lastly, they did this worksheet you can download from the web.

On the following session, we make an easter craft: an Easter bunny. We use these materials:
