Magic Shop Speaking Activity

How to use:

Individual Work

Show the student a slide with four options, each with a price (e.g. $25 or $50). The student has $100 to spend. They read the options, choose what to buy, and explain their choices using simple sentences.

Pair or Group Work

Put students in pairs or small groups (use breakout rooms if online). Show one slide to everyone. Each student spends their $100 individually, then shares their decisions with the group. Students compare choices, ask each other questions, and discuss different ideas.

Class Sharing

After discussion, students or groups present their top choices to the class. Encourage reactions, short debates, or a vote (e.g. “most fun plan”, “most useful plan”, “most surprising choice”).
