Goal: Get stu­dents mo­ving while re­cal­ling vo­ca­bu­la­ry

Pre­pa­ra­ti­on: Place flash­cards with food names (or in­gre­dients/coo­king verbs) on one side of the room, and ca­te­go­ries (like “star­ter”, “des­sert”, “coo­king me­thod”) on the other.

How to play:

• One stu­dent at a time runs to pick a card, brings it back, and tries to match it to a ca­te­go­ry.

• The others help or cor­rect if nee­ded.

• Set a timer or do it as a team chal­len­ge.

Goal: Match food items with de­scrip­ti­ons or ca­te­go­ries

Pre­pa­ra­ti­on: Write food words (e.g. short­bre­ad, hag­gis, por­ri­dge, star­ter, main cour­se) on cards. Write de­fi­ni­ti­ons or ca­te­go­ries (e.g. des­sert, tra­di­ti­o­nal Scot­tish dish) on se­pa­ra­te cards.

How to play:

• Mix the cards and place them face down.

• Stu­dents take turns flip­ping two cards at a time.

• If they match a word with its cor­rect de­scrip­ti­on/ca­te­go­ry, they keep the pair and get a point.

• Win­ner = most pairs.

Goal: Prac­ti­ce food vo­ca­bu­la­ry in a fun and en­ga­ging way.

Pre­pa­ra­ti­on:

• Crea­te bingo cards (3x3 or 4x4 grids) fil­led with food words the stu­dents have lear­ned.

• Pre­pa­re a set of matching cal­ling cards (or just read the words aloud).

• Op­ti­o­nal­ly, in­clu­de pic­tures for extra sup­port.

How to Play:

1. Each stu­dent gets a dif­fe­rent bingo card.

2. You (or a stu­dent) draw and call out one word at a time.

3. If a stu­dent has the word on their card, they mark it.

4. The first to com­ple­te:

   a row (ho­ri­zon­tal­ly, ver­ti­cal­ly or dia­go­nal­ly), or

   the whole card (for a lon­ger game)

shouts “Bingo!” and wins.
