We are headed to the grocery store shelves in this circle time song and activity. This beginning sounds circle time song is just right for working on letter-sound correspondence.

GROCERY STORE BEGINNING SOUNDS SONG AND ACTIVITY

Pick An Item From the Shelf Circle Time Song

Full Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.

Our song today is to the tune, “Do You Know the Muffin Man” 

All you will need is a copy of the song and the shelf picture cards.  See below for the free download.

Cut the picture cards apart and laminate for durability if you choose.

clip cards for beginning sounds

Introduce the song and after singing it each time, have a child select a shelf card and hand it to you. Hold it up for the children to see. Have the students identify the items on the shelves and the beginning sound of the objects on the cards.  Select the item with the sound that matches what you choose to insert in the song.  You can use some type of marker or clothespin to mark the card.

Variation: Identify the letter that represents the beginning sound and place that letter on top of the item on the card.
