Instructions
You will need: one copy of the whole worksheet per student

• Distribute copies of the worksheet to each student. Allow students

time to check they know the English words for all the food and drink
items on the worksheet.
• Use the pictures to teach the following vocabulary items: fridge,
freezer, cooker, cupboard.
• Divide the class into pairs and assign Picture A to one student and
Picture B to his/her partner. If you have an odd number of students,
allow two students to work together on one of the pictures.
• Students work alone and write the words for each of their eight
items on their picture. They must write the words in the boxes
provided, but they can put the items anywhere they like. Students
are not allowed to look at each other’s pictures.
• Students work in pairs. They take it in turns to ask their partner
Yes/No questions to find out where the items are hidden. Each
student must begin each question with Is there a/any …? or Are
there any …? For example, Student A might ask: Is there any cheese
in the fridge? or Are there any sausages on the table?
• Encourage students to answer the questions with Yes, there is/are. or
No, there isn’t/aren’t. where appropriate.
• When a student guesses correctly, he/she writes the item in the
correct place on his/her copy of the worksheet. The first student to
find all his/her partner’s items is the winner.
