What do you usually ask for in a café at home? Think of two or three drinks you would order without looking at a menu.

Today you will learn eight Spanish drink words, then practise asking for one out loud, just as you would at a café counter.

Here are today's eight drinks. Watch and listen first: you will see the English and the picture, then hear the Spanish with el or la. Repeat each one twice with the class. Notice the pattern: most take el, and two take la.

Listen carefully. When you hear a drink you know, mark it on the paper bingo card on your desk. First full line shouts Bingo! then reads their line in Spanish with el or la.

When you name a drink you use el or la. When you order one at the counter you switch to un or una.

Part A — Practise the order phrase first (whole class, before any spin):

Rule: Un with el-drinks, Una with la-drinks. Exception: el agua becomes Un agua.

Quick guide while you order:

• Un + drink: zumo, café, té, refresco, batido, agua
• Una + drink: leche, limonada

Part B — Spin the wheel

When the wheel lands on a drink, order it aloud using the phrase from Part A: Un or Una + the drink + por favor.
