Pancake Day | Recipe Gap Fill

English Language Activity

Printable PDF worksheet

This Pancake Day recipe gap fill activity helps children practise reading and key cooking vocabulary in a meaningful context. Children read a simple recipe for making pancakes and complete the missing words by looking carefully at the pictures below each gap.

The activity supports comprehension, word recognition and spelling while encouraging careful attention to meaning and detail. It works well as an independent task, a pair activity, or a warm up to a sequencing or cooking lesson about Pancake Day.

This worksheet is ideal for seasonal lessons in February and provides a low-prep way to combine reading, vocabulary and real-world learning about making pancakes.
