Product description
From the author
Practise Spanish food vocabulary with a restaurant role-play game. Students should first be familiar with basic food vocabulary in Spanish. Use menus, play money, place setting, and food flashcards and have kids role-play ordering food in Spanish at a restaurant.
Included with this resource:
- Menu for “El Restaurante Fantástico”
- Place setting, one with labels and one without, (fork, knife, spoon, plate, glass, napkin, salt & pepper)
- 44 Food Flashcards for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and desserts
- Fake dollar bills (1's, 5's, and 10's)
- Detailed instructions for playing the game

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students can order a meal in Spanish using vocabulary for drinks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, fruits, vegetables, and dessert.
Students can name the eight table-setting items in Spanish (el tenedor, el plato, la servilleta, and others).
Students can count out play money in Spanish to match a menu item's listed price.
Teaching tips
Check access to and preview the recommended YouTube video before the game so students arrive with the basic food vocabulary the role-play assumes.
Print the menu, flashcards, and place settings on cardstock and laminate them, as the file recommends, so the set holds up to repeated play.
Add the play-money counting step once students are comfortable with the food vocabulary, since the file frames it as an optional added challenge.
Skills covered
Spanish food-vocabulary recall — students order breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, fruits, vegetables, or dessert items by name from the menu.
Role-play/oral production — students take turns as customer and server, speaking requests and matching flashcards to orders.
Applied counting in Spanish — students count out play money to match a menu item's price.
