 9 Shopping crossword
Activity
Pairwork. Crossword.
Focus
Shopping vocabulary.
Preparation
Photocopy one worksheet for each pair of students. Cut the
worksheet up into A and B.
Procedure
• Divide the class into pairs. Explain that students will be
doing a crossword together. Hand out worksheet A to each
A student and worksheet B to each B student. Emphasise
that they must be kept secret. Point out that A knows all
the Down answers and B knows all the Across answers.
• Students take it in turns to give a definition or example
of a word so that their partner can guess it. Students
mustn’t say the actual word. It’s probably a good idea to
demonstrate this. For example with 1 Across you could
say This word means when you have a number of flowers.
A boyfriend might buy a (beep!) of flowers to give his
girlfriend.
