6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

1.1Have the children sit in a circle on the floor and discuss grocery stores
with them. Say, "Raise your hand if you have ever gone shopping with
your mom or dad. Sometimes we shop for clothes or shoes and sometimes
we shop for toys or foods. When we shop for foods, we usually go to a
grocery store. Can you say "�grocery store'? Very good. A grocery store is a
store that sells lots of different foods."�
2.4Using the pictures of various foods, show the
children examples of foods found in a grocery store.
Tell them what section of the grocery store the different
types of food can be found in. Have them repeat the
names of the foods after you say them. For example,
"This is a carrot. It can be found in the fruit and
vegetable or fresh produce section of the grocery store.
Can you say carrot? Very good."�
Include items from all sections of the store including
fresh produce, meat, dairy, frozen foods, canned goods,
and bakery.
 

B. Development-

1. Have students brainstorm ideas about expected and unexpected behaviors in a grocery store. Write lists on the board.
2..Have the children help you make a grocery store
bulletin board on a classroom wall that they can
reach. If a bulletin board is not an option, place large
pieces of paper on the floor so the children can tape
pictures of food on the paper. Divide the bulletin board
or the large paper into small sections"�one for each
section of the grocery store (fresh produce, meat, dairy,
frozen foods, canned foods, and bakery). Let each child
pick one or more foods from the pictures to be included
on the bulletin board.
Help the children decide which section the food should
go into. Let the children tape the food on to the correct
section of the bulletin board.

C. Practice-

1.During lunch or snack time, have the children
decide which section of the grocery store their
snacks would be found in. For example, "For snack today,
we are going to have ham and bread. What section of
the grocery store is ham found in? That's right, ham is
found in the meat section. What section is bread found
in? Very good, bread is found in the bakery section."�
Announce, "We will be playing a fun game. Let's
stand in a circle so that we can play Grocery Store
Aerobics!"�
Explain that you will show them what to do and then
they can do it too. Say, "This game is fun and can show
us some of the movements our bodies do when grocery
shopping."�
Say, "If you want to get something you might have to
reach, squat, push, pull, and lift things into your grocery
cart."�
Demonstrate the movements and ask the children to do
the movements also. If desired, you can have music
playing in the background. In a very animated voice say,
"Let's imagine we are in a grocery store, watch me and
do what I do!"�
Call out the movements and do them for 4 to 6 seconds
each, alternating sides. Remember to enthusiastically
model these movements in a manner that will encourage
children to be more physically active.
"Reach"�reach for fresh bread up on
the shelf.
Squat"�squat down, there's a jar of
peanut butter way down low.
Push"�push the grocery cart, it's
getting heavier.
Pull"�pull and turn the grocery cart,
you're going the wrong way.
Lift"�lift a gallon of lowfat milk.
Jump up"�jump up for joy, you found
strawberries and bananas for a milkshake!
Bag"�put your groceries into a bag.
Carry"�pick up your grocery bags and
carry them as you walk out of the store."�
Clap and tell the children they have all done a wonderful
job!
2.Have students model expected behaviors. Focus on the positive! They can model a "calm body," "keeping hands to themselves," and "quiet voice."
