Food and drink word search

Teaching notes

Twelve everyday food and drink words: bread, cheese, egg, rice, pasta, chicken, apple, banana, milk, water, juice and tea. It suits A1 learners who are starting to talk about meals and what they like.

Pre-teach the words with pictures or a bag of real food. After the puzzle, learners sort the words into food and drinks, then ask a partner "Do you like cheese?" and answer "Yes, I do" or "No, I don't". For more practice, ask them to plan a breakfast with five of the words and tell the class. Play it on the board as a race against the timer, or print it as a worksheet with an answer key.
