Shopping - Play Money TEFL, TESOL, CELTA, TESL, EFL, ESL Game: This is an oral communication activity appropriate
for EFL learners in elementary/primary school(optimal for grades 3-6)
. This game is designed for practicing “shopping” dialogue and vocabulary.
Materials Game: “produce” and play money. Object of Game: To accumulate
as many products as possible.
Students are divided into clerks and shoppers. Clerks set up ‘stands”
to allow easy access for all shoppers (e.g. around the outsides of the
room with their backs to the wall) Shoppers are given a set amount of
money (e.g. dollars, euros, pounds, etc.) and begin at a stand where there
is an open space. Students shop , trying to accumulate as many items as
possible (each item is 1 unit of currency). Periodically, the instructor
will say “stop” (a bell or other device may be needed to attract attention
in some cultural and classroom contexts)and call out a name of one of
the products. Students with that product must then put ALL their products
must begin again from scratch (with fewer units of currency). The student
with the most products at the end wins Students then switch roles.

who run out can no longer participate.
