Christmas shopping. 

Shops and shopping

Do you ever go to the market? Are markets important? What can you buy at the market? Guess and discuss. This conversation worksheet with photos and conversation questions can be used as a basis for an informal discussion about markets, supermarkets, shopping and more. It can be used for Internet research and/or giving short presentations as well. It includes a reading text about markets and supermarkets. Teacher notes included. 

Conversation Corner - At the Market 

This speaking and creative thinking worksheet contains 30 ´Odd One Out´ exercises that are all but obvious and quite challenging. Students can work in groups and try to come up with the most creative, original or correct solution. Divide the class into small groups or pairs and give each group some exercises (e.g. 5 per group). To make it more competitive, you could give each group one or more points per valid answer. It is also a good idea to give the same exercises to different groups to see if they think alike or differently. There is no answer key for this worksheet as this would defeat the purpose of this creative thinking exercise. Enjoy.

Conversation Corner - The Odd One Out

A simple WS for elementary students. Useful while learning the vocabulary related to shopping. It´s multiple choice practice - students have to find the shop where a certain product is sold.
