Because I was teaching this to kindergarten, grade 1 and 2, I decided to do a follow-up (part 2).
I found a great song by Super Simple Songs. I don't have the cd, but it's easy to sing without the music. Here is the youtube link:
YouTube - Do you like ...? Yes I do / No I donĀ“t .(Perfect for ESL students)
Because I don't have the flashcards from Super Simple Songs.. I made a short powerpoint so the kids got the idea of mixing food.
"Do you like eggs" (students repeat)
"Yes I do" (students repeat)
"Do you like ham?" (repeat)
"Yes I do" (repeat)
"Do you like green eggs and ham?"
"No I don't" (repeat)
(Followed by cabbage ice cream and fish (anchovy) pizza.)
After the students got the idea, I just used my food flashcards because it's hard to find "mixed foods" on the internet/clipart. Continue the song and if you want you can have the students choose the combos.
GAME:
Need
- big flashcards (food clipart from this website)
- small flashcards (same as above)
Every big flashcard has a matching smaller one. Divide the students into two groups. Each student in Group A gets a big flashcard. Big flashcards ask the question "Do you like...(flashcard food)?" Each student in Group B gets a small flashcard. The students must find their partner (same food card).
Student 1 (big pineapple card): "Do you like pineapple?"
Student 2 (small rice card): "No, I don't"
Student 1 (big pineapple card): "Do you like pineapple?"
Student 3 (small pineapple card): "Yes, I do!"
When they find their partner, have them put their hands together and make a bridge. All other students add to the bridge as they find their partner.
If you have an odd number of students, make a duplicate small food card. One student will be left at the end of the game, and they can run/crawl through the bridge.
If you have an even number of students, make all cards in pairs except one, so at the end you have a student asking "Do you like apples?" and the last student who has a small chicken card says "No, I don't". Both students then get to walk/crawl through the bridge.
To make it more structured, you can have them make 2 lines (big cards vs. small cards) and ask one-by-one. If they find their partner, they put their hands up, and the other students pass under the bridge to the next student. You can have them each ask their question and answer before the student(s) can run through the bridge (to make sure no one is cheating by not talking!).
Sorry the explanation is so long, but my students LOVED this game! It's simple, and they kept asking "One more time!" "One more time!" Because it's a talking game, I let them play till class ended ^^
