What are we cooking?
Activity type: Pair puzzle
Time: 10–15 minutes
Preparation:  Click here to download the recipe sheet. Print it out. Photocopy one recipe sheet for each student.
Procedure: Have students form pairs. Give each student a recipe sheet. Explain that each recipe sheet has two different recipes – one for pancakes and the other for chili con carne – mixed together. Their task is to separate the two recipes and put the steps in the correct order. Tell students that they can do this either by cutting up the list of ingredients and the procedures or by rewriting the recipes.
Option: Set up a contest: the pair that unscrambles the recipes first wins.
