In the classroom or at home ........

The teacher simply asks "Do you like apples?", "Do you like bananas?" etc. and the kids answer if they do or don't. Once you've gone through it once you can get the kids to sing whilst asking you or asking each other.
In chorus you say "Nice, nice, nice" and the kids repeat "Nice, nice, nice". Then you can also try the "m - z" remix which contains foods from Mayonnaise to Zucchini. Just note that there was no room to fit "X" or "U" into this song!

On the audio section of CD3 there is also a Do you like animals? version which is great for stopping kids saying things like "Do you like dog?" without the "s"!




Recommended Game


One good game for large classes is to do a "Do you like...?" variation of Karuta.

1. Split the kids into two halves, and give each team a cool name.
2. Three kids from each group are nominated to be the designated runners and stand at the back.
3. Put the picture cards at the front of the class.
4. Wonder round the class and say "hello" to a random child ( or point the microphone to them if you have one)
5. This child then asks you "Do you like...?" plus one of the foods at the front.
6. You answer "No, I don't".
7. Wonder around getting a few more kids to ask you.
8. Eventually you say "Yes, I do!" to one kid's question.
9. The front runner from each group has to rush forward and pick up the matching card. The further they have to run, the more fun!
10. Continue from 4


It's really fun and frantic and has lots of participation from many kids. One nice thing is that even weaker kids can say "Do you like apples?" or "bananas", and the more advanced kids will ask more complicated ones.
And everyone has to listen really carefully to what each child says. As you will have quite a few "No, I don'ts" before the final "Yes, I do" it's really good practise for everyone to listen really carefully to many kids in the class, after all the one time they don't listen maybe the one you say "yes" to!

The other good thing is that although most of the kids are sat down ( it's great for even very large classes), they are all listening and they all go crazy shouting the words out and supporting their runners as they run past them to get the cards!






Optional Worksheet:
2 player game, each hides their sheet from the other player. Cut out the 8 pictures on the top right. Place any 4 pictures on the "Yes, I do!" section. Place the other 4 on the "No, I don't!" section. Janken (the "paper, scissors, stone" game, or try a coin toss) to see who goes first. The winner says "Do you like" plus the name of one of the items. If the item is on the other player's "Yes, I do" section then it is safe. However, if the word is on the other player's "No I don't" section then the 2 players janken. If the person who asked the question wins, and they can say the name of the card plus "please", they can steal the picture and place it in their hippo's tummy! But if they lose at janken, it is safe! The other player now has a go at asking. If you have taken everything from your opponent's "don't like" section then you have won!


Picture Books


There are also the online "I love vegetables" and "What's your favourite food?" picture books for this theme.

Weird Foods Cards

Here are some cards of "strange foods". You can use them with the Do you like..? song to easily introduce "Yes, I do!" and "No, I don't!". The cards were designed for Japanese kids, and although all the kids get a reaction, in some classes they actually like the weird stuff, and in some they don't, which is quite fun. Needless to say the last card isn't liked by anyone!



On the CD....

On the CD there is the music (if you put it into a normal CD player), and the software section (if you put it in a suitable PC or Mac). As with the other songs there is a fun pronunciation section for learning the words, and this time a simple quiz!

The "Do you like?" song can be found on CD vol. III !

by Roger Parker

After doing the song and grammar ( but I also teach "Its OK" as an in between) I bring out a set of large Food flashcards and go through them one by one.
The first time is "What's this?"
Then I ask "Do you like ......" then I say "Yes I do" and those that like it say together "Yes I do"
Next I say "It's OK" etc
I do the same with "No, I don't " BUT after the kids reply I tap my hand on the table (like the Japanese TV Programme "Trivia no izumi" ) "HHHHHHEEE" the kids love this!!

I sometimes get a few high level kids to ask the teacher "Do you like ..." and they love to go HHHHHHHEEEEE with their hands to the teacher!
As I said lots of fun enjoy
