Hello, my name is Hoagie! Today, we’re going on a fun adventure to a special place called the floating market. Are you ready to join me?
A floating market is a place where people sell things like fruits and fish from their boats on the water. Isn’t that cool? The boats float on the river, and you can see lots of colorful fruits and yummy fish all around!
At the floating market, we can find all sorts of delicious fruits like bananas, apples, and oranges. We can also see different kinds of fish swimming in big tubs. It’s like a big, floating grocery store!
While we’re at the floating market, we can watch the boats go by and maybe even try some tasty fruit. It’s a great place to learn about different foods and see how people sell things on the water.
When you visit a floating market, it’s important to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. We want to have fun and be safe while exploring!
Thanks for joining me on this floating market adventure. I hope you had a great time learning about this special place. See you next time!
Fruit and Fish Sorting Game: Gather some toy fruits and fish or use pictures of them. Mix them up in a basket. Ask the children to sort them into two groups: fruits and fish. This activity helps them recognize and categorize different items they might see at a floating market. After sorting, discuss with them why each item belongs in its group.
Build Your Own Floating Market: Use small toy boats or make boats out of paper. Fill a large container with water to represent the river. Let the children place their boats on the water and pretend to sell different items like fruits or fish. Encourage them to use their imagination and think about what other items they might sell if they had a floating market.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a walk around the school or at home and ask them to spot different fruits or fish they might see. Encourage them to think about where these items come from and how they might be sold at a floating market. After the walk, discuss their observations and how they relate to the floating market adventure.
