Thirteen-to-fifteen-year-olds who are still building A2 English need topics that feel relevant, not remedial. Food hits that mark perfectly. These 50 questions let teens talk about what they ate today, their favourite snack, whether they can cook, and what food they would never try, all using language simple enough for beginners but about things they actually care about.
The vocabulary focuses on the words teens encounter daily: 'lunch', 'snack', 'sweet', 'spicy', 'fast food', 'canteen', and 'takeaway' alongside basic structures like 'I like... but I don't like...' and 'every day I eat...' that build the foundation for longer conversations.
Keeping A2 Teens Engaged
The biggest risk with A2 teens is disengagement. If questions feel babyish, teenagers shut down. Food questions avoid this because they are inherently personal and often funny. A question about the worst thing someone has ever eaten generates stories, laughter, and language. That emotional engagement is what makes the difference between practising and actually learning.
Building From Simple to Extended Responses
Start each round with a question that needs only a short answer, then follow with one that asks for a reason or description. YapYapGo sequences questions to build confidence within each session, and the pair format means every student speaks for half the available time.
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions are easy to understand but genuinely interesting to answer. Teens find them engaging because the content reflects their real food experiences and preferences.
One to two minutes per question works well for A2 teens. Shorter rounds prevent awkward silence while still pushing students to say more than a single sentence.
Yes. Use them as a warm-up to activate existing knowledge before teaching new vocabulary. Students discover what they can already say and identify gaps, making the coursebook input more meaningful.
