What's Included in the Bundle?

-Fruit Word Wall Cards

Set of 18 word wall/vocabulary cards covering all of the fruits included in these resources. Cards are in full color and come with a write and wipe version to laminate and include in a writing center. Great for introducing the fruits before using the other resources in this bundle.

-Vegetables Word Wall Cards

Set of 22 word wall/vocabulary cards covering all of the vegetables included in these resources. Cards are in full color and come with a write and wipe version to laminate and include in writing centers. Great for introducing the vegetables before using the other resources in this bundle.

-Fruit & Veggie Bingo

This complete bingo set comes with bingo caller cards, card markers in two different designs, and 30 unique full-page bingo cards. Perfect for learning food groups, introducing new foods, practicing fruit and veggie vocab, or for speech therapy, young learners and ESL students! These are ready to cut apart and go, or laminate and use again and again.

-Fruit & Veggie Bingo Jr for Young Learners

This complete bingo set comes with bingo caller cards, card markers in two different designs, and 30 unique full-page bingo cards. This game is set up just like the regular bingo set except that the spaces are larger and there are fewer spaces on the bingo card so that younger students can follow along with the game. The two games work seamlessly together since they use the same bingo caller cards, so they are great for mixed age classrooms, after school care, homeschools, and more.

-Fruit and Vegetable Montessori Style 3-Part Cards

Each fruit and vegetable 3-part card comes with a control card that includes both the picture and name of the fruit/vegetable plus a two-part card, one with the picture and the other with the name, so that students can match them. These are a fun way to add manipulatives into your classroom or home!

These are ready to print, laminate and go! They come in both full color and black and white so that you can use the black and white version to include a coloring/fine motor component. Laminate a set of the color cards for classroom use, then give students a set of black and white cards to color, personalize, and take home for additional practice!

-Fruit & Vegetable Word & Letter Puzzles

Match the fruit or veggie to the word and letter in these puzzles! There are two styles of puzzles: one is a two piece puzzle with the picture of the produce one one side and the word for it on the other. The other style is a three piece puzzle with one piece showing the word, one piece showing the picture, and the other piece showing the beginning letter of the produce. There are a total of 82 puzzles featuring 18 fruits and 22 vegetables.

These are low prep and need to be laminated, but are full color and ready for literacy centers, early finishers, preschool centers and more. They are self-checking with different cuts in the middle that line up, but when I use them I draw a different shape on the back of each puzzle before laminating so that when they're matched, they can be flipped over to check for a complete shape.

-Fruit & Vegetable Memory Game w/ 3 versions

The classic game of memory with a fruit and veggie twist! 3 different versions provide several ways to play the game: one set of cards has pictures and words, one has just pictures, and one has just words. Mix and match to increase the difficulty of the game. For example, mix the picture only cards with the word only cards to have students match the word to the picture! Print cards on cardstock or laminate for durability.

-Fruit & Vegetable Themed Worksheets

Supplemental worksheets for literacy centers, math centers, early finishers, or just to use alongside a unit on nutrition.

Worksheets included in this set:

-6 Match the Fruit/Vegetable Worksheets - students cut and paste picture of fruit or vegetables onto the word for each

-6 black and white copies of the Match the Fruit/Vegetable Worksheets for easy printing and/or to use as a coloring worksheet

-4 Fruit/Veggie Mix-up Worksheets - students count the fruits or vegetables in the box, write the number, and then color them according to the instructions.

-2 Find the Fruit/Vegetable Worksheets - students use a dabber or marker to color the circles that contain fruit/vegetables
