Food Friends Board Game
Young learners travel around a 24-space board answering questions about food, asking classmates about their favourite meals, acting out food actions, and working together as teams. Each space has a speaking task anchored to real food situations—asking what others like to eat, describing favourite foods, miming cooking actions, and agreeing as a team on food choices.
