Food and Drink

Within the learning context, the children are given the knowledge from previous lessons that our character, Percy, is lost on the Island of Madagascar. When exploring the island he came across two baskets: 1) Drinks basket 2) Food basket. Percy, however, needs the vocabulary to explain the types of food and drink which he found.

Types of food found on Island of Madagascar: rice, coconut, cherries, watermelon, pinapple, bananas, lemon...

__Find someone who....__ To practise likes and dislikes give the children two grids of images, one under a symbol for "like" and the other under a symble for "dislike". Ask the childen to interview each other in the class using the question "Tu aimes...*food/drink*?" to find a different person for a variety of categories. The children being interviewed will repond using either "Oui, j'aime le/la..." or "Non, je n'aime pas le/la...." The interviwer writes the name of the person under the relevant image. Once completed, ask the class to share their findings.

__Verbal dominoes__ Give each child a card divided like a domino, with a sentence on one half and an image on the other. Ask one child to start by saying the sentence on the right-hand side of his/her domino. The child who has the matching image on the left-hand side of his/her domino, then says the sentence on the right-hand side of his/her domino. This game continues until the first child hears the sentence which matches the image on the left-hand side of his/her domino, which means teh game is at an end.
