Yummy or Yucky?

Objective & content

This activity sheet is about food words and saying what you like. Pupils sort sixteen food words into four baskets, with Chef Rosa as their guide, then write two foods they like and two they don't. By the end, pupils say I like strawberries. I don't like peas.

Pedagogical guide

Task 1 gives sixteen pictures with their words: pupils write each word in the right basket (Fruit, Vegetables, Sweet things or Drinks). Every word fits in exactly one basket. In task 2 pupils complete four starters, Yummy! I like ... twice and Yucky! I don't like ... twice, then read them to a partner. Chef Rosa gives the two patterns as a fixed formula (I like strawberries. I don't like peas!). Page 2 gives the answer key and the teacher notes.

Suggested procedure

1. (5 min) Hold up (or draw) an apple and a carrot and ask "Is it fruit? Is it a vegetable?".
2. (10 min) Task 1: pupils read the sixteen words and write each one in its basket; check with the answer key.
3. (10 min) Task 2: pupils write two foods they like and two they don't like, then read them to a partner.

Adaptations

[S] Sort the first word of each basket together.

[A] Pupils add one more word to each basket.

Materials & prerequisites

One copy per pupil of page 1, in colour or black and white. Pupils need a pencil. Page 2 is the answer key with teacher notes: keep it. The sheet gives all sixteen words with pictures, so pupils need no food words beforehand; they meet I like and I don't like here.
