Class : 4 a / 4b date

Activity 3 Work in 4 groups. Make soup.
In advance, prepare one flashcard of each food as follows: potato, cabbage, eggplant, onion, pumpkin, tomato, cucumber, carrot, pepper, peach, banana, apple, watermelon, melon, grapes, pear, strawberry, orange, cherry, apricot, plum, lemon, bean, bread, egg, milk, pea, rice, sausage, meat.
Also, in advance, make three lists of items to be purchased by the three groups as shown in the Pupil’s Book.
STEP 1: Divide the class into 4 groups. Three groups will be the shoppers. Group 4 consisting of four pupils will be the shop assistants.
STEP 2: Help the shop assistants set up “stands” in the four corners of the classroom. Mix all the flashcards that you have prepared in advance and give 6-7 flashcards to each shop assistant. Shop assistants must put the flashcards on their “stands” face down. They will have a look at them when shoppers ask for things.
STEP 3: Give the shoppers a set amount of “money” (e.g. will be enough printed numbers only: 100, 200, 500).
Give them as much money as possible to buy their items. Also give the groups a list of items they must purchase as shown in the Pupil’s Book.
STEP 4: Revise the language to be used during shopping. Ask the pupils to open Unit 9, Lesson 2 and read the two dialogues between the shop assistants and the buyers in Activity 5b silently.
STEP 5: When everybody is ready, on your commands ‘ready’, ‘steady’, ‘go’, the three groups go to the “stalls” and begin purchasing the items in their lists. You must monitor and help if necessary.
Finally, say: ‘The soup is ready!’ Get everyone to hold out their bowls and ladle in imaginary soup. If some pupils refuse, this is fine – try and get them to say: ‘Yucky! I don’t like vegetable soup’. Then say: ‘Let’s eat!’ Make lots of slurping noises and say things like ‘Yummy!’ and ‘Delicious!’ and encourage everyone else to do the same.
STEP 8: Now you can ask the groups to try making their soup/salad. Do not forget to join the shop assistants to the groups
