🍎🥛 What do you like? What don’t you like? Open the fridge and let’s find out!
Make food vocabulary and likes & dislikes fun and interactive with this hands-on ESL fridge activity for young learners!
Students work with a colourful refrigerator craft, food cards and speaking prompts to practise expressing their preferences using:
I like… ❤️
I don’t like… 👎
Do you like…?
Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.
The resource combines food vocabulary, speaking, question-and-answer practice and hands-on learning in one playful activity.
📄 WHAT’S INCLUDED
- 10 printable material pages
- Interactive refrigerator template
- Food picture cards
- 18 different food items
- I like / I don’t like… prompts
- Do you like…? speaking cards

The food cards include vocabulary such as cheese, yoghurt, milk, meat, juice, fruit, butter, eggs, ice cream, broccoli, grapes, watermelon, peach, cherries, chicken nuggets, ham, carrots and bacon.
🧊 BUILD YOUR FRIDGE
Students create the refrigerator and use the food cards to decide which foods they like and which foods they don’t like.
They can choose a food and say:
🍦 I like ice cream.
🥦 I don’t like broccoli.
🥛 I like milk.
🥓 I don’t like bacon.
This turns vocabulary practice into a personalised activity where every learner can give their own answers.
🗣️ ASK YOUR CLASSMATES!
The resource then moves from I like / I don’t like to question-and-answer practice:
“Do you like…?”
Students can ask each other questions and respond:
“Yes, I do.” 😊
or
“No, I don’t.” 🙅
Dedicated visual cards for these structures are included in the material.
🎲 TURN IT INTO A PAIR GAME
Student A chooses a food:
“Do you like cherries?”
Student B answers:
“Yes, I do!”
or
“No, I don’t!”
Then they switch roles.
The final activity also gives students blank “Do you like ______?” prompts so they can create their own questions.
