This song is an easy introduction to the very useful "I'd like some..." phrase and a great start to a "shopping" or "restaurant" style lesson.

How to teach ...

First of all tell the kids you are going to have a second breakfast ( always a popular line!), then the teacher sings the song and the kids shout out "Me too!" if they like the food or "Not me!" if they don't. If you have the space, adding a few country or barn dance moves really livens up the chorus!

All foods are all introduced in the "I like" forms ( e.g. "eggs" instead of "egg"), so you can just teach "I'd like some..." without having to worry about adding an "s" or any grammar style rules.

Once the kids know the song you then put them in groups and, using the karate version on the CD, get them to think of and sing their own ideal breakfast. Cue lots of hamburgers and ice creams....

Other themes that link in with this theme are CD3's "Do you like ...?" and CD5's "Ordering Food" song.

Recommended Game

The bad fruit game is great for this theme. It's basically a shopping role play but with a nice twist. Just use the breakfast mini cards instead of plastic fruit.
