Teacher Guide
This is a vocabulary check presented as a cute riddle. Help the students by saying which type of word fits each gap. For example gap 1 needs a location. Tell them that 2 of the options below won't be used.
It can be helpful to do a quick review of the 'like + present continuous' form by giving some examples before starting such as "I like swimming, do you like swimming?" "She likes eating pizza." etc.
After they've tried to match the words from below into the gaps, have them read it out loud and check that it makes sense. Check that they've understood each word. Cover up the labels and see if they can name the objects in the pictures. Have they put them in a logical place or just guessed?
For more advanced students, ask them follow up questions such as "Do you like going to the zoo?", "What animals do you like?" and "Do you go to the zoo at night or in the day?".
