39 activity task cards based on the Frida's Fiesta Restaurant menu stimulus poster.
Welcome to Frida’s Fiesta, the world’s greatest Mexican-style restaurant.
This teaching resource provides 39 activity task cards that prompt learning from Frida’s Fiesta Restaurant menu. Students will engage with ideas and themes from this stimulus poster and answer questions on topics relating to:
Mathematics
Music
History
Visual Arts
Inquiry
Language
Literacy
Technology
Health
Economics.
Use these task cards for activity ideas for specific learning, or integrate them into your group learning rotations as additional activities. This resource is great for NAPLAN practise, as the task cards and stimulus poster coach students to concentrate on comprehension and using inference skills to solve problems and decode information.
Use the blank cards to create your own Frida’s Fiesta task cards! PDF files include colour and black and white. You can download the stimulus poster, task cards, answer sheet and the back design to use as the back of the task cards when gluing onto card.
