At the grocery

please.
Greengrocer: Anything else?

Directions:
Print template of choice. The B&W version is fun for young children to
color in or for older children to color as gifts for younger ones. I like
printing a color cover and B&W pages.
Color the template pieces if you are doing the B&W version.
Numbered pages:
If you imagine a 'real' book for a second, you know that each page has
printing on the front and the back. We're going to fold the pages to make it
like a real book.
o Ignore the cover for now.
o Fold each page along the center dotted line so the images are on the
OUTSIDE and the blank sides of the paper are on the inside (imagine
you're making a greeting card).
o You can use a glue stick, if you like, to glue the pages together (WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF THE COVER!)
Stack the pages, so the odd numbers are on top and the folded edges are
lined up. Trim with scissors or paper cutter if needed.
Cover page:
Fold the cover page along the dotted line, again with the images on the
outside.
OPTIONAL: You can laminate the cover page or print it on cardstock if you
want it to be more like a real book's cover.
Fold with pictures out and Stack with odd numbers Staple
trim if necessary on top
enjoy
Fruit and vegetable alphabet scavenger hunt
The following quiz has been taken from the Enchanted Learning website.
I have reduced the number of questions to 15 to make it more manageable
and to focus on some of the more common fruit and vegetables.
I print the questions out and give a copy to each child. They can work in
small groups depending on how many computers you have at your disposal
and the size of your class.
Use the online picture dictionary at the Little Explorers section of Enchanted
Learning http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Cisfor.shtml where they can
click onto the first letter of the word and then use the pictures to help them
find the fruit or vegetable. They can also check their answers with the
writing underneath each picture.
- Name a fruit that starts with "A." It is white on the inside and can be red, yellow,
or green on the outside.
- Name a long, thin fruit that starts with "B." It is yellow on the outside and white
on the inside.
- Name a long, thin, orange vegetable that grows underground. It starts with a "C."
- Name a vegetable that is green on the outside and white on the inside. It starts
with "C."
- Name a sweet fruit that grows in bunches on vines. It starts with "G."
- Name a sour, yellow fruit that starts with "L."
- Name a green, leafy vegetable that tastes good in salads. It starts with an "L."
- Name three sweet fruits that start with the letter "P" and grow on trees. Name a
tiny, round green vegetable that grows in pods. It starts with "P."
- Name a vegetable that is brown on the outside and white on the inside. It grows
underground and starts with the letter "P." Name an orange vegetable that can be
made into pie. It starts with "P."
What do you get when you dry a grape? It starts with "R." Name a sweet, red fruit
that starts with "S."
- Name a soft, red fruit that starts with "T." It is not sweet.
Five a day
There has been a move in recent years to encourage people to eat more healthily. It
is highly recommended that we eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. There
are a lot of educational resources on the internet that can help you to make this a
very interactive subject.
Each child can fill out a chart at home with their family as they eat their fruit
and vegetables during the week. This educational chart categorizes the food
into colours.

The second chart has been set up as a challenge. Children and their families
are given a brief explanation as to what a portion is. They then have to note
down each time they have fruit or vegetable portion in a day and aim to
make it to five per day. http://www.5aday.com/pdfs/kids/track/serving.pdf
Here there is a selection of colouring pages for the younger primary and a
few games for the slightly older primary children you teach.
