Functional Language for the Grocery

At my school there are two Multiple Handicap classrooms who do frequent fun outings into our community. Their most recent outing was to the grocery store. I though it would be a great time to target vocabulary based around the going grocery shopping. So here's the activity to target just that! Grocery Grab

This is in homage to one of my favorite childhood game shows "Supermarket Sweep"! The 5 fun activities included are a scaffold for practical and functional language use. This file  contains listening skills, spatial, sequential , quantitative, exclusion/inclusion, concepts, functional “wh “questions based in safety, sorting skills, picture to picture matching and reading of food words in a fun game format!

Activities include

Cart Concepts: Quantitative Concepts

Students identify the named cart (show me the cart with a few apples)

 

 

Supermarket Sort: Sorting items into appropriate departments (Milk to the dairy department!)

 

 

 

Shelf Concepts:
 Sequential, Spatial and Inclusion/Exclusion and Negative Concepts (Put the cereal on the middle shelf)

FOOD STORAGE FREE-FOR-ALL: Now that you have all this food what do you do with it?!?! Does it go in the fridge or in the cabinet? This is a great game to talk about food safety.

Brown Bag Races: An interactive listening/reading/matching game where you help "people" find their food by listening, reading or matching pictures

Have fun! See you on Tech Tuesday!
