The Price is Right
This ESL/EFL game is adapted from a famous TV game show. This game can be used
when teaching prices and shopping.
Procedure
Before the game starts you may wish to revise some buying expressions and large numbers
with the class.
Also, have pictures of different products and know the price of each product.
Divide the class into five or six teams.
Show the teams a picture of one of the products.
The objective of the game is for the two teams to guess the actual price of the product.
Each team bids one at a time. The team that bids closest to the actual price wins.
Each bid has to be different. However, a team is out of the round if they bid over the actual
price.
When every group has guessed, give the actual cost of the product.
The winning team gets the amount of points they bid.
Repeat the game with a different product and so on.
A different team should go first each time, as it is advantageous to go last in this game. Try
to vary the products you have in this game from basic everyday items to luxury goods.
