Taste is one of the first senses children learn to describe. This activity sheet, perfectly suited for absolute beginners (A1), gives them their first words to say what they like or don't like to eat using opposites. Through a simple and visual matching game, students learn to name basic flavors and textures. It's an excellent way to make vocabulary learning fun and appealing.

Resource Objective & Content
The objective is to introduce the concept of opposites (antonyms) with basic food and taste vocabulary to very young learners (A1 level).
The document is an exercise titled "Antonyms Game" for A1 level on the theme "Adjectives of Taste". Students must connect eight pairs of words with opposite meanings. The vocabulary consists of fundamental adjectives for describing food: delicious/terrible, hot/cold, sweet/sour, fresh/stale, clean/dirty, full/empty, soft/hard, and thick/thin. This activity builds a lexical foundation for expressing simple food preferences.
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): DELICIOUS OR TERRIBLE?
-
Use facial expressions and mimes. Pretend to eat something delicious saying "Mmm, delicious!". Then, make a face while eating something bad and say "Yuck, terrible!".
During the activity (~5 min): LET'S FIND THE OPPOSITES TOGETHER
-
Distribute the worksheet. Complete the exercise in a fully guided manner with the class.
-
For each word on the left, say it aloud, mime it, then look for its opposite on the right together. Use real objects if possible (a full glass/full and an empty glass/empty).
After the activity (~5 min): WHAT IS IT?
-
Show simple pictures or drawings of food.
-
Ask very simple questions to the class: "Is a lemon sweet or sour?", "Is the milk fresh or stale?".
Adaptations
-
To simplify: The main adaptation is to use as many real objects as possible (a candy for sweet, a piece of hard bread for hard), mimes, and images for each word before starting the worksheet.
-
To extend: Students can draw their favorite dish and their least favorite dish. They then write one or two adjectives from the worksheet under each drawing (e.g., a cake with "delicious, sweet" and broccoli with "terrible").
