👩🏼‍🍳 How to teach cooking lessons without needing a kitchen!

👩‍🍳 After yesterday’s awesome Pancake Day Lesson, here are 3 ways I’ve found to do cooking lessons without needing a kitchen!

1. 🍳🥚 Use toy food!

2. 🖨️ Use printed pictures of the food.

3. 💭 Imagination – get the kids to mime it out!

How do you teach cooking in your English lessons?

Be genki,

P.S.  We also have two other simple English cooking lessons on the site, Cheese on Toast and Chocolate Bananas!

These were two of the very first pages I put on Genki English! 🙂
