Procedures
ROUTINE
Purpose: To start the class
Timing: 3 minutes (plus 10 to 15 until students get to class and cool down)
- Greet students
- Show them a few faces: happy, sad, sleepy, angry and ask how they feel.
- How are you today? I’m happy!
- Ask for the date (day of the week, number and month).
- Write the date and how students are feeling → Today is Tuesday, 16th October. I am …..
- I’m going to give you different faces during the class (show them the faces) to demonstrate how I feel about your behavior (I might use L1 to talk about this). If you get three angry faces you will have to talk to Seño Cristina.
Mood faces:
I’ll use just happy, sad, sleepy, and angry. I’ll draw my own.
Behavior faces:

I will use them for behavior. The group teacher uses cards.
- Transition comment to link each stage of the lesson with the next one:
I’m pregnant (mime it), so I eat a lot! Let’s take a look on what I ate yesterday.
WARM- UP
Game: Run for the food

This is just an example. I have flashcards for all foods I’m going to use.

Timing: 10 minutes
- Use flashcards to introduce/review food items (bread, cheese, pasta, cake, tea, milk, juice, pizza, chicken, meat, apple, orange, banana, strawberry, onion, potato, carrot)
- Show each flashcard one by one and elicit or teach the word, using indefinite articles when necessary.
- Elicit the name, helping them in the use of the verb to be: It’s a banana!
- Play quick a game: stick the flashcards on the board. Divide students into two teams and call out sentences about the food you like, e.g. ‘I like pizza.’
- One child from each team runs out to the board to touch the correct items. The first one to touch gets a point for his/her group.
I’m going to show you pictures of foods and drinks I ate and drank yesterday.
I show the picture and you try to guess what it is.
For example: What is it? (show bread). It’s bread!
Can you repeat? It’s bread.
Now we are going to play a game. I’m going to stick the pictures on the board (show the action).
I’m going to divide you into two groups (count them in English and ask each one to sit with his/her group).
Now, I say a sentence, for example: I like pizza. One member of each group has to come to the board and touch pizza.
Maria, do you want to help me demonstrating the activity?
- Show them images of foods and drinks to help them remember previous vocabulary;
- Model It’s a…
- Explain the game by demonstrating it and using mime. Ask students to help me.
- Transition comment to link each stage of the lesson with the next one:
What are these? (show them candies). How do they taste?
PRESENTATION
DEVELOPMENT (PRACTICE and PRODUCTION)
Activity 1: A world of flavours

worksheet tastes
Timing: 20 minutes
- Tell them foods and drinks have different tastes: sweet (show a few candies), sour (show a lemon), bitter (show a mate), and salty (show a saltshaker).
- Write the tastes on the board and stick a picture representing each taste.
- Taste testing: set up a table (a big one) or two tables, as it’s a large group, with different bites of food (a cookie, apple, bread, black tea, lemon, pieces of cheese, etc). Cover them and tell students they have to guess what the food is by testing it and classifying it into sweet, sour, bitter and salty.
- Ask students to come to the table and with their eyes covered, they taste the food. (example: It’s sweet, it’s an apple). Demonstrate the activity first by asking a student to cover my eyes and give me one of the bites of food.
- Ask them to write the name of the food under its corresponding taste on the board.
- Give them a worksheet so they can classify different foods into different tastes and express which one they like better.
Do you like candies? (help them using English). How do they taste? (they will probably answer in Spanish). They’re sweet
How about this (show them a lemon). What is it? How does it taste? (they will probably answer in Spanish). It’s a lemon. It’s sour.
And this? (show them the mate). It’s mate! How does it taste? (they will probably answer in Spanish) It’s bitter.
And this? (show them the saltshaker). It’s salt! It’s salty.
Foods and drinks have different taste. What do you prefer? Let’s try them!
I’m going to put bites of different food inside these cups and we are going to do a flavor testing.
I need volunteers. You are going to close your eyes and the other students and I are going to give you a cup with a bite of food. I’m going to show you (one student covers my eyes and gives a cup). It’s salty! It’s cheese!! (for example).
Now, you can sit down and look at this worksheet. Here you can see four teenagers: John, Marc, Jenny and Sarah. John likes sweet foods, Marc likes sour foods, Jenny likes bitter, and Sarah likes salty. Right bellow you have different foods and drinks (picture and name). You have to match them with the corresponding person.
Now what flavor do you like better?
- Show them real food;
- Ask questions (they might use L1) and say the tastes in English.
- Demonstrate the activity
- Transition comment to link each stage of the lesson with the next one:
So now that we all know what tastes you like, let’s see what foods and drinks you like.
Activity 2: What’s on your plate?

survey worksheet
Timing: 25 minutes
- Bring paper or plastic plates (or a worksheet with a plate printed on it) to class and give one to each student.
- Explain to them they will have to put on the plates what they normally eat.
- Give them playdough so they can make their food. If the plates are made with paper, they can draw the food.
- Go around asking what is on their plates (the name of the food and the taste).
- Show them my plate (with lots of fruits and vegetables) and tell them what’s on it.
- Write on the board: I like apple, tomato, carrot, bread, empanada (stick a picture of the food mentioned and write their names bellow).
- Ask them Do you like ……? Teach the form: Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.
- Give them a worksheet so they can interview three classmates about likes and dislikes. They will go around the classroom asking questions: Do you like broccoli? (the food is going to be in the worksheet and they will have to tick or cross their classmates’ answers).
- Now ask them to complete the chart: My favourite food is…… / I like……… / I don’t like…. / The traditional food of my country is…..(show my worksheet as a model)
- Elicit a few students to read their answers.
- Students draw the traditional food.
What is it? (show a paper/plastic plate). Help students with the word plate.
Look this is my plate. This is what I normally eat. (show my plate – a print from the internet) and pass it around.
Now I will give you plates and play dough (it could be crayons) and you have to put on your plates what you normally eat. Use the play dough to make your food.
So now that you have your own plates and I have mine, I’m going to show/tell you what I like like apple, tomato, carrot, bread, empanada (stick a picture of the food mentioned and write their names bellow). And I don’t like bananas.
Maria, do you like bananas? (Maria might say: Yes). Sure…Yes, I do. (write it on the board). Ezequiel, do you like tomato? (Teach the negative form). No, I don’t.
So now you can interview your classmates about what they like or what they don’t like. (handle the worksheet).
You have to ask questions: Do you like …broccoli, apple, potato, onion, tomato, chips, pizza, bread, chicken? What do you have to say? (elicit answers).
Now, go around the classroom to interview three classmates. Take notes on the worksheet.
After you finish, you can complete the chart below and draw a typical food from Argentina.
- Show them pictures;
- Ask questions;
- Mime;
- Demonstrate the activity.
