Make a shopping list with pictures or words. Play grocery store and either shop or check out shoppers. Learn new words like deli and bakery.
Travel
Start packing for a trip. What do you need? Where will you go? Imagination can take you anywhere, so pack your bags and off you go!
Restaurant
Write a menu, then create your own restaurant with real or pretend food. Invite your family members to try out your restaurant.
