This four-page English (EFL) activity worksheet explores the origins and traditions of Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, in the UK. It aims to equip students with the vocabulary and structures to talk about the day itself, as well as wider themes of celebration.

The worksheet comprises four short texts along with comprehension questions and glossaries of key words for each (including, of course, instructions on how to make a pancake!). A third page includes vocabulary exercises to consolidate new words, with a true/false quiz on the fourth page (with some humorous red herrings!).

The language level is around A2 on the CEFR scale (ideal for a proficient Year 7 and Years 8/9), designed to encourage gist-reading longer texts. Link-up topics include Celebrations and Festivals, and Food and Drink.

A page with answers to all the questions is supplied at the end of the worksheet.
