Accessible learning resource - chocolate?

I am in clear-up mode at the moment.  I was going through a notebook I'd taken with me on a seminar trip a couple of years ago and came across a web address I'd jotted down.

I've just checked it out and I can see that it would be a useful resource for students to use at home.

The name of the site is attractive too!

Learning chocolate
' to make learning a new language as fun as enjoying a piece of chocolate!'




There are 5 pages of themes - there would seem to be 25 themes per page so.... 125 of them.

Each theme works the same - you see a set of pictures and words (Review).  Each word has a speaker icon next to it.  You click on the icon to hear the word.  The spelling and pronunciation is American English, so make sure students are aware of that if they're more used to British English or another type of English.
Next, there are 3 match up activities.  Then a fill in activity and a dictation of the words.  

The format is always the same so I doubt if your students would manage to do all 125, but I'd suggest that it would be a useful resource to share with students (and parents).

And Learning Chocolate isn't limited to English - you can also Chinese/Mandarin, German, Spanish and Japanese - I might try learning a bit of Chinese later.......

And - what about this lovely picture on the subject of learning and chocolate?  Great idea for working on writing and using interesting words from F is for First-grade Fun!
