Clothes Shopping Role-Play
Cut out the cards and divide them into “Customer cards,” “shop assistant” cards and "shopping list cards."
On a board make a mind map of the kinds of questions customers and assistants would ask each other.
Make sure they are familiar with the expression "would ..... do?" for offering an alternative to the customer (e.g. "We don´t have black cotton trousers. Would blue ones do?")
Give out the customer cards and shop assistant cards to the students – if your class is big divide into smaller groups and give the same set of cards to each group.
Tell the customers to read their customer cards and tell them that the sizes on the cards are the sizes they take.
Give the customers the shopping lists once they have read the customers cards.
Select students to be shop assistants and make sure they are familiar with the expressions and the questions they need to ask.
Pair them off and start the role-play. Make sure the shop assistant starts by asking, "May/can I help you?"
For advanced groups, tell the customers to look at the "personality" and "additional" sections on their cards and to act on them. You may also want to tell the shop assistants to be extra rude, suspicious etc. or get them to use the shop assistant cards.
Take notes of any structure, pronunciation, grammar and intonation problems and then address them when the exercise is over.
