Hey there! Are you ready for a fun adventure with vending machines? Let’s go and see what yummy treats we can find!
First, we have a bread vending machine. You can choose your favorite jam to put on your bread. Do you like strawberry, blueberry, or pineapple jam? Yum! Just pick your flavor and press the button. Enjoy your tasty bread!
Next, let’s find something to drink. There’s a machine with lots of drinks! You can have yummy yogurt, sweet fruit juice, or even a cold cola. Just put in a coin, press the button, and enjoy your drink!
Oh no! There’s a little fire, but don’t worry. We can use water to put it out. Let’s work together and help our friends. Great job, everyone!
Look at the little hamburgers marching down the street! One, two, one, two! They’re having so much fun. But wait, one of them needs help. Let’s make sure they use the crosswalk to stay safe!
It’s time for some fresh juice! We have dino juice, croc juice, and colorful rainbow juice. Which one do you want? Rainbow juice is made with strawberries, oranges, blueberries, bananas, grapes, and kiwi. So yummy and healthy!
Now, let’s watch the donuts dance! Ten donuts are turning around and having fun. But oh no, one donut falls into a chocolate pot! Let’s count how many are left as they keep dancing.
Yay! There’s an ice cream vending machine. You can choose from strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla. Add some rainbow candy or nuts on top. Which flavor and topping will you pick? Enjoy your ice cream!
Let’s get creative and draw with crayons! We can use yellow, green, blue, and even black. Look at the beautiful pictures we can make. Do you want to join us in drawing? Let’s have fun together!
Thanks for joining our vending machine adventure! We hope you had a great time learning and playing with us. See you next time!
Vending Machine Role Play: Set up a pretend vending machine in the classroom using a cardboard box. Fill it with play food items like toy bread, drinks, and ice cream. Let the children take turns being the customer and the vending machine operator. Encourage them to use play money to “buy” items and practice counting and making choices. Ask them questions like, “What would you choose if you were really hungry?” or “Which drink would be best on a hot day?”
Jam Taste Test: Bring in small samples of different jams like strawberry, blueberry, and pineapple. Let the children taste each one on a small piece of bread. After tasting, have a discussion about which flavor they liked best and why. Ask them to describe the taste and texture. You can also ask, “What other foods do you think would taste good with jam?”
Counting and Dancing Donuts: Create paper cutouts of donuts and place them in a circle. As you play music, have the children dance around the donuts. When the music stops, ask them to count how many donuts are left if one “falls” into the chocolate pot. This activity helps with counting skills and understanding subtraction in a fun way. Ask, “How many donuts do we have now?” and “What happens if another donut falls in?”
