I like - I don't like

Food vocabulary


I found interesting resources on food vocabulary and the grammar aspect "I like"/ " I don't like", so here you are an idea on how to practise this topic by a simple worksheet where students can talk about what they like and they do not and then complete the worksheet.

They could also practise vocabulary spelling writing food names under the pictures.







Creative writing to practise past forms

Just to let you know...

I am working as an English teacher for preschoolers...it is a great experience to share with them 3 hours per week so I try to take advantage of time and do a lot of things with them.

With the arrival of Spring we have started reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar tale by Eric Carle.



Next week we are going to start preparing our show for the end of the school year and I am thinking of a performance of this tale as they are enjoying a lot with it.
