Colourful Semantics: Shopping Game

This pack contains:

• SPaG PowerPoint lesson to teach using commas to separate items in a list

• 36 colourful semantics cards related to shopping at the supermarket

• 12 shopping list game cards

• 4 speech/writing frames to use with the cards

• This activity can be used in at least 4 different ways! I have used it for the following:

• teaching food vocabulary: This can be done either in the context of shopping or as expressing likes, dislikes. Both options are included in this resource.

• using commas to separate items in a list: Use the game cards for children to use as a writing prompt. They can record what each person bought at the supermarket to practise using commas.

• Shopping list memory game: Give each child a shopping list and lay out the green cards on the table. Give them a moment to look at their list then turn it over. They must try and remember which items they need to buy in the correct order!

• speaking and listening to describe someone’s shopping list: Children could use real life experiences to recall a visit to the shops with family. What did each member buy?

• If you find another use for the cards, please leave a review or tag me on Instagram @simply_semantics - I’d love to see how you’re using them! *
