| Preparation | Copy enough shopping lists for the number of students in your class. Make one copy of each shop card. If possible, photocopy some money or make some pretend money of your own |
| What do I do? | 1 Set up the shops: Fold the shop cards in half. Put them on four different
tables around the classroom, with the name of each shop facing the centre, and
the prices facing the shopkeeper. 2 Choose four shopkeepers. Give a shopping list to each of the remaining students. 3 Shoppers visit each shop and ask for the items on their lists. Example dialogue: A: “Hello, could I have some tomatoes please?” B: “How many would you like?” A: “I'd like 5, please.” B: “Here you are.” A: “How much is that?” B: “That's $2.99.” A: “Here you are.” B: “Thank you.” |
