SPEAKING
ACTIVITY
THE SHOPPING GAME
I
present a game designed for Primary School students. The aim is to orally
practice some vocabulary previously worked in the English lessons. Children of
the first and second level can easily play it.
Kids
should be divided into two groups: clerks and shoppers. The classroom furniture
should be moved to create some desks where they can place the items. Depending
on what vocabulary has been worked, this game can be modified, from a
grocery’s, a fish market, a car repair shop, etc.
This
can be used with different objects: plastic food, printed images, items made
with clay by the students, etc.
Shoppers
are given an amount of money and they have to ask for the product they want to
shop. Clerks have to interact with the shoppers. Children will have the
opportunity to change roles.
Hi Pilar!
ReplyDeleteI find this activity very stimulating for young kids. It´s really important to learn a language by taking an active role in it, using it and expresing ourselves. This is a typical activity for the students in the earliest years of learning a foreign language. Well done!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI think this game is really interesting because the students can practice english and do calculations while they are shopping. So, they have the chance to implement some concepts from another subject, which is maths. Besides, they can learn how to do the shopping, which is a practical learning for the future. Good job!
Kind regards,
Angel
