The tamariki just love going to the supermarket and have turned our little shop into a supermarket of their own. We have used real food boxes and our wooden fruit and vegetable to recreate and set the scene.
"Can I please have some eggs/" asked Daniel and Austin the shop keeper rushed to get them.
"Here is $20.00 said Daniel and Austin took the money and gave him some change.
The children are using their prior knowledge and experiences to add to their play as they imitate what would happen in a real supermarket. Each taking to different roles of being the shop keeper or the shopper. Choosing their food, paying the money and giving the change. The shop keeper gets to use the cash register and talk into the shop speaker.
Some of the children even cut up some supermarket flyers to make their own shopping lists too.
This is a great way to to be creative and expressive and use our imaginations through role play while also adding in literacy, numeracy and social skills.
