Cooking Verbs Ice-Breaker

Needing a quick and easy but fun ice-breaker for a new cooking class? Look no further than these Cooking Verbs cards! Cut out and laminate each card (it makes it so easy to store and use for the next class or the next year), hand one card to each student, set a timer for 2 minutes and get students to race around trying to find their match. These cards match the cooking verb to a picture example of the verb, so they’re great to use as an ice-breaker task, a revision game at the end of the term or they can even be used as a match-up game for support/life skills or ESL students. To make the task a little more challenging, set a new 2 minute timer and have each pair brainstorm as many foods that link to their verb as they can (e.g. GRATE = carrot, apple, pear, onion, zucchini). The pair with the most correct, wins. There are 12 verbs for a class of 24 plus space to add your own!
