Why Choose This Lesson?
- Visual Vocabulary Introduction
Students match desserts such as cookie, candy, pie, and ice cream to colorful images and then complete fun sentence gap-fills to reinforce their understanding. - Real-Life Reading Task
Learners read short first-person statements (e.g. I love something cold and sweet in summer) and identify the matching dessert. This builds practical comprehension and inference skills. - Pair Speaking Game
Students use description cards to give clues while their partner guesses the dessert, encouraging active listening and use of new vocabulary in a playful context. - Guided Writing Practice
Students write about their favorite dessert using sentence starters and reflective prompts like when they eat it, why they like it, and who they share it with — blending creativity with structured practice. - Flexible Use in Any Classroom
