Build speaking and listening confidence in early learners with this fun set of Do You Like? Food Conversation Cards. Designed for oral language development, these cards help students practise asking and answering simple questions about familiar foods, a perfect way to support speaking skills, listening skills, and social interaction in the classroom.

• Do you like grapes?
• Do you like waffles?
• Do you like watermelon?
• Do you like oranges?
• Do you like apples?
• Do you like avocado?

• And more…

These simple, repetitive question stems help students build confidence using sentence patterns, expressing preferences, and engaging in meaningful back‑and‑forth conversation.
