Supermarket People

I have been teaching a class for the last two weeks and we have been talking about money. As part of our unit of work, we talked about where we all spend money. One of the places that was mentioned was the supermarket. We cut out pictures of items you could buy from a supermarket and glued them into our books. For those who had finished that, I gave them the option of making people using cut out pictures from supermarket catalogues. For a quick fill in activity, they did very well and thoroughly enjoyed it. 

This activity was similar to the Fruit People, which could be made using coloured pictures from catalogues too. Our focus at the time was not on healthy eating, rather on what can be found at a supermarket. This was also a really great activity to introduce the names of items to my ESL students.
