Food: What’s This?

food vocabulary esl

In this speaking activity, students talk about breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between. Students look at pictures of meals and dishes, then learn what to call them. Practical stuff: ordering at restaurants, reading menus, talking about what you ate. The visual approach means no guessing what “scrambled eggs” or “grilled chicken” actually looks like.
