Now that we are doing our Holiday shopping; the supermarket is a great place to stimulate vocabulary development. Just think of all the foods and household items that you can find in a supermarket. Many of the larger supermarkets even sell tools and electrical appliances.
Thousands of items at the supermarket are grouped into categories. You have a section in the store for dairy products, a section for cereals, a section for beverages, etc... Therefore, classification words such as the following can be taught while you shop!
* Drinks (beverages)
*Vegetables
*Meats
*Fruits
*Cereals
*Tools
*Appliances
*Dairy Products
*Frozen Foods
......and many many more!
Ask you child questions:
1.Can you show me where the vegetables are?
2.What kind of fruits do we need?
3. How is a pear different from an apple?
4. Where do eggs come from?
Don't forget to teach your child about the butcher, the cashier and other people who work in the supermarket!
