Where do we buy food from?

10:00-10:30am - snack time

My intention was to bring in a role play for the children for this theme. Therefore, we had a brainstorming session on where do we buy food from. 

Teacher: Where do you think we can get food from?
Children: Supermarket.
Children: Pasar Malam (night market). 
Teacher: Yes, we can also get it from the morning market. We shall set up a supermarket and some role plays. What do you think we could do?
Children: Buy things...Food....

Then from the discussion, I managed to sort out some role play for the children to do - cashier, shopkeeper and customers. 

I have some empty biscuits, cereals boxes to show to the children that we could use it as our stock. We concentrated on food. Therefore, the children were requested to bring empty boxes of food to school so that we could set up our supermarket. 

On the other hand, we also needed some "money". I used this opportunity to introduce RM1, RM5 & RM10 to the children. At once, the children could differentiate the distinctive colours - blue (RM1), green (RM5) & red (RM10). I shall cut out some rectangular paper for the children tomorrow to colour it accordingly.
