Language focus: "Do you like...?" "Yes, I do." "No, I don't." "Yuck!" Food names.

Classroom benefits: Do You LIke Broccoli Ice Cream is a fun, silly song about food likes and dislikes that children love to sing over and over. After singing the song, chiildren also have great fun creating their own silly food combinations. The Classroom Version allows you to insert new lyrics. It's a great classroom activity to come up with new food combinations and then sing your own original version of the song!


Lyrics and actions:

( Children really enjoy holding the yes/no paddles and they help the more tactile and visual learners follow the song more easily.)

Do you like _________? (Insert a food the children in class like here.)
Yes, I do! (Thumbs up and nod your head "yes".)
Do you like_________? (Insert another food the children in class like here.)
Yes, I do! (Thumbs up and nod your head "yes".)
Do you like ________ _________? (Combine the two foods into one yucky food!)
No, I don't. Yucky! (Nod your head "no".)

Repeat 3 times.



Some ideas for more silly/gross food combinations include:

Chocolate sushi.
Butterfly soup.
Hamburger candy.
Etc.

Let the kids create the new food combos. They' ll come up with far more creative ideas than any adults would, and they love to hear their own ideas in the song.
