Teaching vegetables vocabulary focusing on questions

Target Group:

Beginner Level

Material:

Vegetable flashcards

Vocabulary:

asparagus, beans, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chilies, corn, eggplant, garlic, ginger, peanuts, lettuce, mushrooms, onion, peas, radish, tomato

Colours - black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, silver, white, yellow

Process:

Introduce vegetable vocabulary to students first. After students have learned vegetables ask random questions such as: What colour are carrots? Can you eat tomatoes? Do you like to eat corn? Focus on singular and plural vegetables, for example one carrot – two carrots. Make sure to add  “s” to plural vegetables. Create a small picture story on the board without adding the flashcards, just the numbers and pronouns as a master. Students choose what vocabulary cards must be inserted in the blank space.

Skills:

Vegetables vocabulary; spelling; numbers; colours; sentence structure; word-picture association; word-picture recognition; early reading; singular and plural; conjunctions; like and dislike; favourites

Game Idea:

Go Fish - Have students choose two flashcards each. Have the students hold the flashcards face up but not to show anyone. Choose a student and ask "Do you have a tomato?" If they do, they have to give you the flashcard. Have each student ask other students questions. A student with no cards is out.
