Information and guidance
Movement
• The children pretend to carry a heavy shopping bag.
• Then they unpack the contents, stretching up high to put light objects onto shelves and stooping down low to put heavy things into cupboards.
Song: ‘Shopping bag’ (to the tune ‘Three blind mice’)
Shopping bag, shopping bag,
Hear what’s inside, hear what’s inside:
There’s bread and apples and jam and cheese,
Soap and toothpaste, potatoes and peas,
Eggs and butter, fish fingers for tea,
That’s what’s inside.
In the first and subsequent verses children listen and count the contents. There’s a school materials theme to the last verse sung at the end of the programme.
Story: The thoughtful shopping trip
Mum has been shopping and there’s something for everyone in her bag.
