The Food Survey

Objective & content

This activity sheet is about asking and answering about food you like. Pupils read what three children like, tick and cross a grid, then ask three friends five questions in a survey. By the end, pupils ask Do you like pizza? and answer Yes, I do. / No, I don't.

Pedagogical guide

In task 1 pupils read about Amara, Jin and Lucas, for example I like pizza and apples. I don't like fish., and tick what each child likes and cross what each child doesn't like in a grid of four foods (pizza, fish, apples, ice cream). Each child names all four foods, so every cell has one answer. In task 2 pupils practise the question and the answers: Do you like chips? Yes, I do. / No, I don't. In task 3 they ask three friends five questions (pizza, fish, chips, peas, chocolate) and write Yes or No in the survey grid, then tell the class one answer. The question and the short answers are given as a fixed formula. Page 2 gives the answer key and the teacher notes.

Materials & prerequisites

One copy per pupil of page 1, in colour or black and white. Pupils need a pencil, and room to walk round and ask three friends for task 3. Page 2 is the answer key with teacher notes: keep it. The sheet gives the food words with pictures, so pupils need no food words beforehand; I like and I don't like are in the three children's texts.
