Grocery materials to collect prior to the first day of the lesson plan.GROCERY MATERIALS LIST Be sure that you have the following items readily available prior to the first day of implementing your lesson plan. If you have added any other focus in addition to, or instead of fruits and vegetables, you will need to adapt the following materials list. Many of these items are staple items from your classroom storage, but some items will need to be purchased or gathered specifically for this lesson plan. I have also included specific board games. If you do not have them, or are not able to purchase all of them, try to get at least one to use as the "featured game" that will supplement the overall theme. By consistently adding one or two games each month that complement the themes, you will have a collection that the children will enjoy playing, regardless of the theme.
