WARM-UP AND VOCABULARY
This worksheet on grocery shopping vocabulary starts with a warm-up. Students think about the last time they went grocery shopping and say what they bought. Afterwards, they complete the definitions of sections at a grocery shop (e.g. baked goods, dairy products, beverages) with different products (e.g. biscuits, frozen vegetables, shampoo). Following that, they answer questions about where to shop for specific items in different situations. They use the words from the previous task. Next, students look at pictures of things and people in a grocery shop (e.g. aisle, change, cashier). They then imagine they enter a grocery shop and say in which order they would see them. Moving on, students read a text about shopping in a grocery shop, replacing pictures with words they previously studied (e.g. trolley, receipt, checkout).
MORE VOCABULARY AND DISCUSSION
In this part of the worksheet, students discuss questions about grocery shopping experiences and habits. After that, students practise grocery shopping vocabulary and match words (e.g. barcode, expiry date, ingredients) to parts of a picture of a product. Moving on, they complete dialogues with the target words from the lesson (e.g. change, cashier, trolley). Afterwards, students work in pairs. They get cards with grocery shop-related words (e.g. aisle, fresh produce, queue). Students have a conversation with their partner where they try to make them say the words on their card. They ask questions and make comments to help them. Students don’t show their partner the words. They then swap places. Finally, students think about a grocery shop they often go to and describe it. They use the target words from the lesson.
HOMEWORK/REVISION
This worksheet also includes an additional task that you can use as homework or revision. In the task, students unscramble words in statements about common items and actions in a grocery shop.

cream is not very specific because we can be face cream, sour cream 😉
You’re right, cream can mean many things 🙂 In this activity, though, we mean the thick, yellowish-white liquid that forms on top of milk. And since students can only add two more words to each category, they’ll know not to add it to ‘home & personal care’, as there’s already toilet paper and shampoo.
