How to use Taste ‘n’ Tell Food Cards
We invited a selection of Teachers to describe the ways they implemented the card sets in the classroom. The following are just a few of their creative ideas, in no particular order:
“We asked pupils to read the rhymes out loud and to memorise them.”

“We asked pupils to think of other words associated with food that rhyme,e.g.
what rhymes with bake? (cake)
what rhymes with peach? (beach)”
