Needing a fun way to introduce your class to the kitchen? This Kitchen Equipment Scavenger Hunt is designed for middle and high school foods courses to familiarize students with the different utensils and equipment used in the kitchen.

There are a range of tasks including reading and comprehension, cloze passages, true/false, make words from words, multiple choice and short answer questions, a creative writing prompt and an introduction to ALARM scaffold. These worksheets are perfect for literacy lessons, end of term lessons, as filler activities, no device/laptop lessons or for a casual/relief teacher lesson. After purchase, the compressed zip folder just needs to be downloaded and extracted to access all 6 worksheets.

Restricted is a fun, fast-paced game where students must try to describe the AUSTRALIAN ANIMALS to their teammates without using the name, or words on the card (similar to Taboo).
Basic Rules:
Teams have 2 minutes to guess as many animals from the clues given to them as they can. The clue giver shuffles the cards and draws the top card. The opposing team sets a timer for 2 minutes. The clue giver gives as many words and phrases as they can think of - that don’t include the Restricted words! to help their teammates guess the animal. If the teammates guess correctly within the time frame, they get a point, and the clue giver draws another card. Play continues until the timer runs out. There is no penalty for incorrect guesses. After the 2 minutes, the opposing team plays. The first team to 10 points wins
