Bunny+Cakes+Reinforcing++Activity

Materials you will need: Small shoe boxes Construction paper Stickers Ping pong balls Milk cartons Square paper that says Flour Gummy worms

The teacher will read Bunny Cakes aloud to students. After the story, students will be divided into pairs. Pairs will be purchasing the items needed to make a cake, and then putting the cake together. The teacher will hand out fake money to each pair of students ($10 per pair). Students will then come to the teacher’s store to purchase baking supplies. The teacher will give students a grocery list, so that students know what they will need to buy from the store.

__ Store Prices __ Eggs (ping-pong balls)-$2 Flour (square paper that says flour, also comes with a shoebox)-$3 Stickers-$1 Gummy Worms-$2 Milk-$1 Stickers-$.50 Construction paper (for icing)-$.50

After students purchase these items they will be putting together a cake using the shoe box, construction paper (for icing), stickers (for cake decorations), and gummy worms for decorations.

Discuss why teacher made the materials cost $10 dollars all together to illustrate the connection between consumers and producers. Students may eat the gummy worms at the very end of the lesson.
