How to teach ...
First of all tell the kids you are going to have a second breakfast ( always
a popular line!), then the teacher sings the song and the kids shout out
"Me too!" if they like the food or "Not me!" if they
don't. If you have the space, adding a few country or barn dance moves
really livens up the chorus!
All foods are all introduced in the "I like" forms ( e.g. "eggs"
instead of "egg"), so you can just teach "I'd like some..."
without having to worry about adding an "s" or any grammar style
rules.
Once the kids know the song you then put them in groups and, using the
karate version on the software, get them to think of and sing their own ideal
breakfast. Cue lots of hamburgers and ice creams....
Other themes that link in with this theme are "Do you like ...?" and "Ordering Food" song.
One really cool way to introduce this theme is to tell the kids the Sun
is going to explode tomorrow! So for your final day on Earth - what would
you like for breakfast?
That's pretty cool isn't it! Get them to interview lots of people.
Then get back to reality by assuring them the Sun really isn't big enough
to explode!
This first game is if you have lots of preparation time.
First of all do the How much? lesson Then ...
1. Give each child a sheet of breakfast minicards and lots of play money.
2. Assign each group a food to collect.
3. The kids get in groups of 2.
4. They ask each other "I'd like some" plus the name of the food they
need + please.
5. They negotiate prices.
When every team has collected all of the items they are looking for, total
up how much each team has spent. The one who has spent the least money
is the winner!
This game works because as the game nears the end items become fewer and
fewer and hence the price will increase! You can then play the Bad Fruit game but this time with breakfast words and "I'd like some"
If you don't have much preparation time, try this game!
1. Print out the menu below (VIP members) or put the pdf on the projector
2. Everyone shouts out "What would you like for breakfast?"
3. One person makes an order with "I'd like .... + .... + ...."
4. Quickest person to shout out the price wins and gets to order next!
Or Colin just sent in this very nice game to go with the breakfast lesson:
1. The players sit in a circle with a set of breakfast mini cards each.
2. The first player says: "What would you like for breakfast?"
3. Going round the circle, each chooses a card and says, "I'd like some..." + whatever's on the card.
4. The first player has to remember what all the others have ordered.
They goes round the circle saying "He'd like some...", "She'd
like some...".
If they get it right, they takes the players card. If they get it wrong,
they give a card to the player.
They will probably find this very easy, so before they get bored, give
them all a set of drinks cards too.
Now it's , "I'd like some....... and some....".
I'm thinking of adding fruit cards in the near future.
The winner is the one with the most cards at the end of the game.
As for timing, you can let them play until: a/ somebody loses all their
cards. b/ they've been round the circle twice. c/ your time limit is up.

Exchange Projects
One other cool thing to do with breakfasts is to do a similar project to
the School Lunch Exchange, but where the kids video their breakfasts! They can of course just take
a photo or draw the breakfast, as the main part of it is using the English
to describe the food.
Kids love this type of thing. Here are a couple of examples to get you
started:
Indian Breakfast
Japanese Breakfast
French Guiana Breakfast:
English Breakfast
Austrian Breakfast
Thailand Breakfast
German Breakfast
If you'd like to video your breakfast, put it up on Youtube and send me the link, I'd love to be able to share it with everyone!
Or you could have a big breakfast in your class, like Flossy did in Austria:
Be genki,
Richard
