STEP 1: Before the pupils enter the classroom, hide the vegetables all around the room – on 
windowsills, behind books, under desks, etc.  
STEP 2: Say to the pupils: „Let‟s look for some vegetables and fruits!‟ Then stand up and 
demonstrate that you are searching for something. Find one of the vegetables (e.g. under a table). 
Ask: „Is it a fruit?‟ Get the correct answer: „No, it‟s a vegetable.‟ and take it over to the vegetable 
basket and drop it, saying: „Let‟s put it in the vegetable basket‟. Then find a fruit and ask: „Is it a 
vegetable?‟ Get the correct answer: „No, it‟s a fruit.‟ and take it over to the fruit basket and drop it, 
saying: „Let‟s put it in the fruit basket‟. 
STEP 3: Then get everyone to hunt around the room until all of the vegetables and fruits have 
been found and placed in the correct baskets. 
STEP 4: Hold up the first vegetable/fruit and ask: „What is it?‟ Get the answer in chorus: „It‟s 
a/an ...‟. Take out one more vegetable and fruit. This time ask: „Is it ...?‟ For example, show a 
banana and ask: „Is it an apple?‟ The pupils say in chorus: „No, it‟s a banana‟.  
STEP 5: Set up smaller groups and give each group a mixture of fruit and veggies. First 
model the: „Is it a/an ...? Yes, it is. No, it isn‟t. It‟s a ...‟ Then in turn the pupils ask in their groups 
and answer.
