Open the door and see what’s inside! In “What’s in the Refrigerator?”, students ask “What can it be?”, use the core word OPEN to open the door, reveal a food to practice food vocabulary, and imitate its sound (apple → CRUNCH, milk → GULP, cheese → YUM, juice → SLURP! etc).
📖 “What’s in the refrigerator?
What can it be?
Open the door…
It’s an apple, I see! CRUNCH!”
