This is a Vocabulary Lab worksheet. With it, students are introduced to a set of vocabulary on a specific topic and practise it through controlled activities, speaking tasks and games. Learn more about it here.

WARM-UP AND VOCABULARY FOR KITCHEN OBJECTS

This worksheet starts with a warm-up. Students discuss daily kitchen habits and wishes. They then read sentences about using common kitchen items and use vocabulary for kitchen objects (e.g. microwave, kettle, knife) to name items in some pictures. After that, students complete sentences about more kitchen items with words in pictures (e.g. oven, sink, stove). Moving on, they look at pictures and complete letters to create names of more kitchen items (e.g. dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster) in sentences. Afterwards, students look at the pictures from the previous tasks again and answer questions about kitchen tools, their functions and safety. 

GAME AND DISCUSSION

In this part of the worksheet, students play a game and revise vocabulary for kitchen objects. Student A chooses a word from the previous exercises and says words that come to mind. Student B guesses the kitchen item. Then, students swap places and continue for more rounds. After that, they look at words (e.g. knife, microwave, spoon, plate) and say which one is different from the others. Students explain their choice. There are no incorrect answers. Next, they look at pairs of kitchen items (e.g. oven OR dishwasher) and imagine they can only have one thing in each one. Students choose which one they would like to have and explain. Finally, they say which things they need (e.g. spoon, freezer, toaster) in different situations (e.g. You are making breakfast.) and explain why.

HOMEWORK/REVISION

This worksheet also includes an additional task that you can use as homework or revision. In the task, students complete a crossword about kitchen items. They then create the word using five letters from the crossword. The task is available in the teacher’s version of the worksheet. You can print it and hand it out to your students. It’s also included in the e-lesson plan.
