A selection of English ESL dish ppt slides

a slideshow which allows the students to describe dishes orally

describe your favorite dish

Play the game. It can be played in a class or a group. You will need a scoop to pass. Be sure the speakers  of your computer are on. When the music stops the one with the scoop in one's hand has to answer the questions. Use as many words as you can remember. If not ask your classmates to help. Describe the cooking verbs, share your own experience. The more you will tell the better.

You must be Lithuanian to answer some questions. If not, you are welcome to try some traditional Lithuanian dishes or write to me and I will send more information about these. I hope you will enjoy it. Food topic is always interesting as well as cooking verbs are always useful. Enjoy.



Cooking verbs, Lithuanian dishes.

This presentations introduces some types of dishes and food for ESL (beginners). It helps as a warming up activity, where students express themselves about their favourites dishes, they can add more food while discussing each slide. 

What's your favourite dish?

I used this PPT as a guessing activity to introduce food vocabulary. Students working either in groups or in pairs try to guess the dish/food by reading the description. Even though the language used in descriptions seems a little bit challenging, the answers are easy to guess. 



After each question, I asked my students to identify the key words that helped them guess the dish. As a follow-up, you can also use it to highlight the passive voice or food vocabulary. If you are not teaching a unit related to food, you can use it to spice up your lesson, my students really enjoyed it.

Guess the Dish-Food Vocabulary

This is a PPT I created to help my students practice the Food & Drinks Vocabulary and enhance their reading comprehension skills. It has some Latin American references as well as Colombian. I hope you find it useful. Feel free to leave me your comments.
