Spanish: The Game of 20 Questions - Restaurant Vocabulary

Students will recognize and recall 52 Spanish restaurant-related vocabulary terms, including menu items, courses, tableware, and dining phrases.

Students will connect Spanish restaurant vocabulary to its English meaning using the bilingual grid on page 2.

Students will use the vocabulary set to ask and answer yes/no questions about restaurant items during guided practice.

Start with the Spanish-only grid (page 1) for students who are ready to work without a translation crutch, then switch to the bilingual grid (page 2) for review or for beginners.

Use the vocabulary grid as the word bank for a 20-questions guessing game, matching the resource's own naming: one student silently picks a term and classmates ask yes/no questions in Spanish to identify it.

Preview dietary vocabulary such as vegetariano and vegano before play, since these terms may be unfamiliar even to students who know common food words.
