Procedure
- Make copies of pages 54 and 55. Cut out pictures from magazines of people in different outfits. Cut off their shoes.
- Distribute copies of page 54. Read through with your class, helping with pronunciation.
- Divide the class into pairs and give each pair a few magazine pictures. Ask them to imagine what shoes the people in the pictures are wearing. They can guess the colour, the style and the price. Allow 10 minutes and assist where needed.
Arrange the class into groups of three. Give each group a copy of the "If the shoe fits" worksheet, counters and one die.
- Explain the rules of the game:
1. The aim of the game is to reach FINISH first, and to get there by answering questions.
2. To start, player 1 rolls the die and moves forward the number of squares indicated on it. If the answer to the question is correct, the player stays on the square; if the answer is incorrect, the player moves back to where he started.
3. For the “Talk about” questions, the other players in the group must be happy with the answer to stay on the square.
