Kids educations--grocery stores?

Question

What are things you associate with a grocery store? I am making a curriculum box for the kids at my preschool and am fresh out of ideas...

so far i have

cash register/money

food

shopping cart

coupons

grocery list

what else is common with grocery stores? or any books that relate? help!

Answer 1

dont forget savings and ads! Also you dont have to be so general with the foods. there is a great variety of colors and smells( the five senses) at a grocery store. there is the appy (deli), there is the bakery in the grocery store itself, some have banks. the tiles on the floor and their shape. the loudspeaker that alerts shoppers to deals is also sensory(hearing)

Answer 2

Bags for the groceries

Books about Food

Cashier and Deli Person's Uniforms or Shirts

A Calculator

Answer 3

scale

Answer 4

the assistants at the store could help you with that

Answer 5

Grocery sale ads!  And you know all those fake credit cards you get in the mail?  They can be debit cards for shopping with.  And how about grocery bags for toting your purchases home?

Answer 6

casheirs

Answer 7

we've done this - we had kids bring in food from home - empty boxes and cans with no sharp edges and they shopped until they dropped.  We had a cash register, sacks to bag the groceries, carts (we also asked for more carts from home), they took turns being cashier and shopper - we needed baggers, people to take the groceries to the pretend car -

Let the kids cut out their own coupons - sounds like you have a great list started and your kids will have a ball.  Have fun!

Answer 8

baskets with handles, cookbooks for kids..........

Answer 9

Stockers, managers, delivery people, butchers, customer service, etc.
