Price It!

☆ Created by The Cross-Cultural Classroom ☆

A great educational activity in the form of a gameshow! Download this language game as a fun way for your students to practice language used when shopping!

Uses:

• Can be used as a speaking or writing game to practice shopping language ("How much is this/are these...?"; "It's/They're (amount of money)."; "It's/They're cheap."; "It's/They're expensive.")
• Great for ESL/EFL, but can be used for any foreign/second language learning as all text is editable

How it works:

• Students can play individually, in pairs, or in teams.
• You will show them an item and they guess how much it costs by writing a price on their whiteboard (or whatever medium you choose).
• They will have 30 seconds to write.
• After time is up, each student/pair/team will reveal their guess by making a sentence, “It’s _____ dollars.” or “They’re _____ dollars.” (Feel free to update with whichever currency you're using.)
• After everyone has revealed their guesses, you will reveal the actual price.
• The student/pair/team with the closest guess gets a chance to earn points on the next slide.
• On the next slide, they will choose between 2 price tags. They make their choice by saying the sentence on the tag, “It’s/They’re cheap.” or “It’s/They’re expensive.”
• The student/pair/team receives the points behind the price tag they chose (I usually have them keep track of their own points to make my life easier).
• The student/pair/team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Format:

This game template has been created as a fun, animated PowerPoint and extra notes on how to play have been provided in the "Notes" sections of each slide. To make your job as easy as possible, I've included 12 pre-made game rounds plus blank templates in case you want to add more!
