The lesson flow
- 5′Warm-up — Teacher greets children and mimes eating and drinking. Children guess the food words they already know. Teacher claps a rhythm and children repeat 'yum yum yum!' together.
- 10′Presentation — Teacher holds up flashcards one by one for juice, bread, apple, cake, egg, and soup, saying 'It's a [noun]' and 'I like [noun]'. Children repeat each word and sentence three times, chorally and pointing to the picture.
- 10′Practice — Teacher pretends to be a café waiter and asks 'What do you like?'. Children stand, pick a flashcard, and answer 'I like [noun]' aloud. Teacher drills the frame with the whole class, then in pairs, walking around to help.
- 15′Song — Teacher plays the song 'At the Little Café' and models actions for each food word. Children sing along, doing a small clap on 'I like' and pointing to their tummy on the chorus. Repeat the song twice, second time with children singing alone.
- 5′Wrap-up — Teacher shows flashcards again fast and children shout 'I like [noun]!'. Teacher says goodbye and children wave, singing the chorus one last time softly.

Close the loop
The quiz isn’t a grade — it tells you what to bring back. If the class misses a word here — say “juice” —your next LingoChorus lesson recycles it into the warm-up, the song and a quick check, so it sticks. That’s the Loop: plan → teach → assess → re-plan.
