Cook With Me! Kitchen Words for Kindergarten

About This Resource

A complete Kindergarten ESL vocabulary pack with eight kitchen words: cup, plate, bowl, spoon, fork, pot, glass and pan. Children name and match them, count cups and spoons, use This is a… and I need a…, and draw their own kitchen. Includes slides with notes, a lesson plan, worksheet, quiz, homework, A5 flashcards, a rubric, Word files and answer keys.

Overview

Children help in a pretend kitchen and learn eight everyday words. They use short sentences while setting a table or making pretend soup: "This is a bowl." "I need a spoon." Real objects and a simple role-play make the words easy to remember. Children match pictures and words, circle the right object, count, answer yes or no and finish by drawing their kitchen and naming three things in it.

Learning Objectives

Say and recognize eight kitchen words.
Use This is a … and I need a … with the new words.
Count kitchen objects up to five.

How to Use This Resource

Show the slides and real objects (a cup, a plate, a spoon). Children repeat each word and touch the object.
Do worksheet activities 1 and 2 together, saying each word aloud.
Children complete activities 3 to 6 with help, then use the quiz and take home the homework page.

Classroom Activity Ideas

Set the table: children put out a plate, a cup and a spoon and name each one.
Pretend soup: one child is the cook and asks: I need a pot! Another child hands over the picture card.
What's missing? Show five objects, hide one, and children say which is missing.

Differentiation

Support: focus on four words (cup, plate, spoon, bowl) and let children point. Challenge: children say two things: I need a bowl and a spoon.

Assessment

Use the worksheet and quiz to check that children recognize the words. Use the rubric during the table-setting role-play.

Teacher Tips

Use real plastic objects if you can; children remember words they can touch. Talk about safety too: a pan on the stove is hot, so we do not touch it.
