Preparation

Make one copy of p3 for the class, and a copy of the pictures for each group. Alternatively, bring
in magazines for the children to cut up.


Steps

1. Ask the children for the names of different types of shops, by asking:
Where can you buy shoes? Where can you buy meat?
2. Choose five or six of the shops on p3, cut them out and stick them up around the room.
3. Talk about the things you can buy in each shop, eliciting as much as possible from the children.
Encourage them to use a sentence like:
You can buy chicken at a butchers.
4. Put the children in groups, one group for each shop. Give out the materials and explain that
they are going to fill the shops with goods. Show them how to draw and cut out pictures of
items that can go in the shop. Alternatively give them magazines to cut up or hand out ready
cut photocopied pictures.*
5. Let the children stick their pictures under the relevant shop names. If they use sticky tack, the
pictures can be removed for other activities.

* They can also write the words on pieces of paper and stick them by the pictures.


Extension (a) Going shopping

Preparation (after step 4 above)

Practise the sentences children will need:
Examples Id like some __________ .
Have you got any __________ ?
How much is / are __________?
Im sorry, we havent got any __________ .

You can either use the price lists provided on pp 5-6, put prices on the pictures, write price
lists before the activity, or ask the children to do this. During the activity they can use real
money or toy money.

The children can work in small groups of about four and take turns at being shopkeepers and
customers.

Extension (b) Planning a party

Steps
1. Tell the children they are going to plan a surprise party for their best friend. In pairs get them
to write a list of people they would like to invite, and a shopping list for the party including
items like food, drink, balloons, presents.
2. Choose three different shops from the first activity and ask three or four children to be
shopkeepers in each shop. The other children now visit the shops in pairs and buy the things
they need.
3. At the end of the lesson ask some of the children to tell the class what they have bought, and
what they didnt manage to find.

Note: You can ask older children to make a note of how much their shopping cost in the two
extension activities, if they are confident with numbers and adding up.
