Warm-up Questions
These can be done in partners or with the whole group, depending on class size. Here are some examples:
What do you eat for breakfast?
What is your favorite food to eat for breakfast?
What do you think is a healthy breakfast?
Play the video
Play the video once (or twice, if you sense that your students are having a hard time understanding).
Activity: “Odd One Out”
For this game, you’ll need to compile a list of vocabulary taken directly from the video, plus one additional “odd word out.”
For example: Bananas, Eggs, Spaghetti, Coffee
Students will be asked to pick the odd one out. Of course, in this case, the answer is spaghetti, as it’s a dinner food, not a breakfast food.
You can ask questions such as Which of these would you not eat for breakfast? You can also follow up and ask students why they chose a particular food.
This activity can be done as a group exercise or individually depending on class size and whether this is done in a classroom or online.
Activity: Flashcards
For this game, you’ll need to compile flashcards related to the vocabulary shown in the video. Additional flashcards can be added for further study and can be food in general or breakfast foods. If you’re having difficulties preparing these materials, you can look at a website such as ESL flashcards for free resources.
The game is merely taking the flashcards and testing the vocabulary knowledge of your students. See if they can get all of the words through to the end without making any mistakes.
Questions in the Present Simple
Here you can ask questions in the present simple and encourage students to ask questions to each other. As this is a beginner-level class, I’d focus on positive questions only.
You can model a question-and-answer scenario and then encourage your students to follow their own questions. Be sure to write the question on the board or share a screen for an online class.
Do you eat breakfast in the morning?
Yes, I eat toast with jam every morning.
This activity is to encourage conversation between your students. Longer answers are to be praised.
Do you like fruit for breakfast?
Do your parents eat breakfast?
What is your favorite breakfast food?
You can encourage students to follow up on these questions by asking Why? or Why not?
Follow-up
If you still have time, you can encourage students to play a game related to the class. This would also be an excellent chance to do some free practice or conversation.
Again, you could utilize the flashcards. Encourage students to make full sentences with the object shown on the flashcard and award points in two teams.
Or set up a fake cafe and have children take and place an order.
What do you want for breakfast?
Toast with eggs, please.
In this way, you’re consolidating vocabulary from the beginning of the class.
