12 Worksheets

1 Labelling Worksheet – Students write the correct word under 9 images. Includes both countable and uncountable food nouns.

1 Listing Worksheet – Students write how they like the food prepared or served, with 6 food item prompts on the page.

1 Matching Worksheet – Draw a line from picture to matching word, with no writing except student’s name and date. Includes the 8 food items and omits the term “Thanksgiving dinner”.

1 Word Scramble – Unscramble the letters and spell the food. Image prompts appear at the bottom of the page.

2 Sorting Worksheets – Worksheet 1 is a solo activity, but students could pair up after finishing to compare their answers. Worksheet 2 is a task for groups of 3 or more students to find out what tastes they have in common.

• Worksheet 1: I like… / I don’t like… + 8 foods
• Worksheet 2: All of us / Some of us / None of us like… + 8 foods

2 Surveys – Survey 1 is a simple Yes/No question. Survey 2 practices frequency adverbs asking about holiday eating habits. There is a little space around the response options for students to jot brief notes if their level would allow them to ask follow-up questions.

• Survey 1:  Do you like.. ? + food
• Survey 2: Do you ever have… ?  always/often/sometimes/never

4 Find Someone Who… Worksheets: This game engages all your students at once by pairing everyone up for short conversations. The page lists 8 incomplete statements, such as “___ likes pumpkin pie.” Students must get up and talk to each other to find the information they need to complete the task: finish every sentence with the name of a different classmate.

NOTE: The Find Someone Who… Games do not include the question forms required for conversation. If the language is new, teachers should put the corresponding q-form on the whiteboard for reference.

• Game 1: ___ likes + food
• Game 2: ___ does not like + food
• Game 3: ___ had + food (past tense)
• Game 4: ___ has had + food (present perfect)

Happy Thanksgiving!
