Teaching places in town and shopping vocabulary helps elementary English language learners talk about everyday situations. Students learn the names of stores and the items they can buy there, which supports real-life communication.

This ESL Town Vocabulary resource includes flashcards, small cards, and activities 

In my last post there were many activities on how to use the Town Theme flashcards, in this one is where to shop or buy things.

Flashcard Questions

Flashcards 1. Place several items flashcards and ask questions.

Teacher: Where do you buy a hamster ?

Student: At the pet shop.

Number Identification Game

Place several flashcards on the board and write a number on each. Ask the questions.

Teacher: What number is the pet shop ?

Student: 93

Teacher: What can you buy at the pet shop?

Students: hamster, dog, fish.

Sentence Building with Flashcards

Place a person, a store and an item flashcard on the board. Have the students make the sentence using the flashcards. They can make more sentences using these flashcards or magazine cutouts.

Matching Items to Stores

Give the students the small set of cards and have them match the item to the shop.

Put all the shops in ABC order.

Sorting stores to shops activity 

Or glue the stores on several toilet paper rolls. Glue items cards on craft sticks. Have the students sort where to buy things. I particularly like the mall one because there are many things to buy there and they can discuss between partners that there several places to buy the same things.

printable writing book.

 Students complete what they can buy in each store.

Here is a closer look of all the pages of the book.

When the book is read at home with the parents, have them bring it back along with some magazines. First have them cut the book in two parts and make another matching game. Second, cut the store and it on paper and have the students find pictures of things that can be bought at the stores and then glue where they belong so they can be shared with the class.

There will be another part for the town theme. Remember, there is a bundle for the Town Unit at the store.Right here:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Town-Theme-Bundle-for-Elementary-and-Kindergarten-ESL-5906470
