Esl restaurant homework

Students begin by reading extracts from a restaurant dialogue and deciding who said each one, the waiter or the customer. Students then match each question or statement from the first exercise with an appropriate response. As an extension, pairs of students use the language from the worksheet to create a restaurant dialogue.

The first student to get the four menu item cards they want wins the game. In this ordering at a restaurant role-play activity, students take on the role of fussy eaters and order food and drink according to preferences on a role card. Divide the students into groups of five. Give four students a role card and one student a menu.

For homework, that student will call another student and relay the story to him or her. The second student calls someone else and does the same and so on and so on until every student in class has heard the gossip for homework.

After all, your students might be able to tell you the irregular past tense of a whole list of verbs, but what they really want and need are practical terms, expressions and sentences, elements that help them see how far they’ve come. That’s where this ESL restaurant role play activity comes in.
