The most exciting class for the kids!
I began by blindfolding the three children, and giving each of them something to taste. Chocolate sauce (for a sweet taste), a few drops of lemon (for a sour taste), and a few drops of chili sauce (for a spicy taste).
Then I removed their blindfolds and asked each of them to fill in the worksheet, circling the sort of taste they had experienced. From many cut-up pictures in front of them, they had to pick the foods that share the same taste as the one they tried, and stick them on their worksheets.

They solved a crossword puzzle, which I easily created online.

We discussed vocabulary related to Food & Drink (names of food categories and what they include, names of drinks, names of meals, verbs of preparing food, and other vocabulary) from these hand-outs:
Food and Drink Vocabulary hand-out
I wanted them to know what sort of containers suit different kinds of food (e.g. a bar of chocolate, a jar of jam, etc.). They did the following exercise where they had to choose the right word from the box for each picture of food:

We ended with Listening exercises: each student had a different copy, all with the same first two questions but a different third question.
The first listening set of questions is based on this Youtube Sesame Street video: More Spaghetti
The second set of listening questions is based on a Randall's ESL Listening Audio: Heavenly Pies Restaurant
And the last question, which each student had a different version of, was based on the Sally and Robert's description of their everyday meals. The kids had crayons on hand and had to draw and colour Sally's breakfast, Sally's dessert or Robert's dinner, as they heard their descriptions.
Their homework for the day was to write a recipe for a dish with the taste of what they had tasted as they were blindfolded.
