Grocery Grab & Go
Why play this way?
Like the simple joys in My GrandMom, this activity turns an everyday errand into a playful learning adventure. Just as Gee-eun & GrandMom searched for food at the market, you and your little one will explore the grocery store—this time, hunting for foods that start with the letter G! You’ll build vocabulary, practice phonics, and spark fun conversations, as you make real-world connections and create special moments together.
SET THE STAGE FOR PLAY: 3 Minutes
Set
Introduce the letter G and the hard /g/ sound in words like “gorilla,” “grandma,” “glue,” “glasses,” “game,” and “goodness gracious!”
- Can you think of other words that start with G?
- What about things you’d find at the grocery store?
Play!
Go to the grocery store with your list and pen in hand.
Walk up and down the aisles searching for each item on your list.
When you find one, say its name and check it off.
BONUS CHALLENGE: Find other things that start with G (including non-food items) and add them to your list!
