Teaching Tip: Recipes

Part 2 – Cooking Charades

Level: Pre-Intermediate to Advanced

Materials: None

In part one we introduced basic vocabulary for writing and following recipes. Once students have mastered this target language, divide them into small teams and have each team write one or two short recipes (keeping their recipes a secret from the other teams).

In turns, each team will choose one member to act out the preparation of the dish for the class, step by step. The other teams have to guess the dish, as well as accurately describe the steps along the way, based only on the performer’s actions.

Generally, one point for each step and three points for guessing the dish works well.
