How to use the shopping list and its activity sheets

Activity 1

For classroom use, teachers cut out the food name labels and food images that they would like the kids to practice with. Stick the labels at the bottom of each grid on the shopping cart (see the sample picture above). Scatter the food pictures and have students find the corresponding image to the food name label and then stick it on the grid.

Instead of adding food names on the grids of the shopping cart, you can also add color, shape, and number labels (see same 2 above) on the grid for kids to practice colors, shapes, numbers, etc. while doing shopping activities.
