I like vegetables
by Richard Graham

I like vegetables.
I like vegetables.
I like vegetables.
I like vegetables.

I like onions.
I like peas.
I like carrots.
I like beans.

(Repeat Chorus)

I like mushrooms.
I like potatoes.
I like pumpkin.
I like tomatoes.

(Repeat Chorus)

I never used to teach vegetables as the kids never seemed that excited by them. But things do seem to have changed in the last few years, everyone is into healthy eating, even elementary school kids!

If you make them look cute, and make them into a funky song, the kids love them.

All the items in the song are introduced in the plural form so it's easy to mix in with Do you like...?, I'd like some...? etc.

On the CD there is also a bonus version of the track with the question "Do you like....?" instead of the simple "I like...". In any case I'd recommend the easier version first.

For games, you can use any of the vocab practice games.

For the gestures....

Val in Argentina has put together this amazing video on how she uses sign language as the gestures for this song:



And here are the sign language gestures in isolation:



Or you could make a Fruit & Vegetable Market like Flossy did in Austria:



Picture Books


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



Enjoy!
