Supermarket Writing Worksheets
Here are some supermarket writing worksheets that use picture prompts to engage English learners. There are a few different activities to use, and they can be adapted to suit both beginners and advanced students.
The first worksheet above involves describing a picture that is set in the supermarket. Students must find 14 mistakes in a photo description. This also gives them a good example of how to do part 2. In the second part of the worksheet, students must look at a photograph and write an accurate description themselves.
Supermarket Writing Prompt
This worksheet has a quite detailed drawing of shoppers and produce in a typical supermarket. It is very simple; students just need to write what they can see and what the people are doing.
You can also set a tense beforehand, such as simple past, past continuous, or a present tense, to practise a targeted grammatical structure.
Naughty Children Supermarket Writing
In this picture prompt, we can see a boy and a girl creating havoc in a supermarket aisle. They have knocked over a stand of cans, and there are products all over the floor.
No written prompt is provided to keep this worksheet versatile. You can choose to make this worksheet a simple picture description activity in which learners write what they see. Provide any vocabulary that you feel is necessary.
Alternatively, you can ask learners to write a story about the children. If so, give your class some suggested ideas, and ask them questions like: Why are the children being naughty? Where are their parents? What things got broken? What happened next?
Supermarket Writing Scene 3
Another easy picture prompt that has 3 shoppers choosing items from supermarket shelves. There are 2 parts to this worksheet. Firstly, learners are to describe the picture as best as possible. Afterwards, they are to write about the last time that they visited a supermarket.
For part 2, students can write where they went and who they went with. What they saw and bought, as well as how much they spent, along with anything interesting that happened at the time.
Shopping List Writing
Next, we have a shopping list for learners to complete. This is great vocabulary and spelling practise for all ages.
Students just need to write a list of groceries that is divided into 5 categories. You may need to revise the words grains, dairy, and poultry for beginners.
Once completed, students can add prices and see how much they spent. They can also compare their shopping lists with others and see what they bought.
Grocer Shop Spot the Difference.
On this writing worksheet, learners need to find 10 differences between two pictures and then write what they are. For example, in picture A, there are four bulbs of garlic, but in picture B, there are five bulbs of garlic.
