Are You Hungry? | Food Vocabulary ESL Lesson for Kindergarten

A fun and interactive 28-page ESL lesson for kindergarten and beginner young learners, based around the simple Are You Hungry? song. It is a perfect first introduction to food vocabulary, focusing on just four foods: rice, egg, cheese and pizza, so children can learn and remember the new language without being overwhelmed.

Students practise “Are you hungry?”, “Yes, I am,” “I’m hungry,” “I’m full,” and “Can I have some…, please?” through singing, speaking, games and hands-on activities.

The lesson includes 8 guided activities, including a Hungry Monster feeding game, sing-along chef puppet, team food-collecting game, What’s Missing?, spinner game, Hungry or Full? cards, food patterns, a speaking worksheet and a printable chef hat for role-play.

Designed for complete beginners and children who cannot read yet, the lesson provides lots of repetition through visual, playful activities. It is a great way to start a food topic before moving on to the more extensive My Lunchbox lesson.
