Fruit & vegetables vocabulary activities

Practise everyday food words with a list that works for shopping role-play, garden lessons and describing tastes. It is a useful starting point for English vocabulary practice.

Your starting word list

Before you print

Read through the list together. Check that learners know the meaning of each word, and replace words that do not fit your lesson. The generator uses uppercase A–Z letters. A worksheet practises spelling and recognition; introduce new meanings before asking learners to work independently.

A classroom idea

Give each pair a pretend shopping basket. One learner describes a food by colour, shape or taste while the other guesses the word. Avoid requiring learners to taste food.

Talk about it

Which two foods could you describe using the same adjective?

Choose an activity
