One of our most popular songs is Do You Like Broccoli Ice Cream?
So we put two of their favorite foods together and a new song was born!
Teachers love to use these songs in the classroom as a foundation for extended learning opportunities.
Here are some activities that friends have shared with us.
Its perfect for practicing vocabulary from Do You Like Broccoli Ice Cream?
(or any of the Do You Like…?
It works well for second language learners, or for practicing asking and answering questions.
Youll also need a magnetic wand and some magnetic counting chips.
Start by getting the kids seated in a circle on the floor.
Try singing Make A Circle to make it fun and easy.
Spread out the flashcards on the floor and place magnetic counters on each flashcard.
It works best to spread them out a bit.

Select one student to go first and hand them the wand.
Start singing along with the song and then hit the pause button.
Say to the student, Do you like…?
and name one of the foods on the flashcards.
or No, I dont like (plus the food)!
Hand the wand to the next student and start singing again.
If you have a small group, use less counters on the cards.
you could also use more than one magnetic wand.
Food Art
Heres a classroom art project from Teacher Ula of theMini English Schoolin Poland.
First, teach the kids the song.
Ask the students what types of foods they like and dont like.
Draw everything that they say on the piece of paper (dont worry about your drawing abilities!
It doesnt have to be perfect. )
Encourage the kids to explain the funny food combinations to their parents.
