Déroulement:
1. Get students to brainstorm as many foods as they can think of. Write their ideas in a web on a whiteboard or a piece of paper.
2. Take turns rolling the question cube and having each student answer the question they roll.
3. Give a menu to each student and take turns reading a section of the menu out loud. One student will read appetizers, one will read drinks, etc. Get them to ask questions about menu items they are unfamiliar with.
4. Pretend to go to a restaurant and order. It’s easiest if you are the server and your group of students are the customers, but you can switch this up. Put the paper with the expected language on the table in case they need help. Go through a restaurant experience, starting with a welcome, then asking them what they’d like to drink, appetizers, main course, dessert, if everything is okay, if they need anything, if they need the bill, how they will pay, thank them, etc.
5. If you have time, let a student be the server and go through the interaction again, encouraging “customer” students to order new food and drinks this time.
