Toy Shop Mix-Up

A customer orders a kite, but the shopkeeper offers a car. Can they fix the mix-up? In this kindergarten role-play, children use picture tickets and two toy shelves to practice asking and answering questions in English.

Target Vocabulary

ball, car, teddy bear, kite

Activity

  • Choose a picture ticket. Point to it and name your order.
  • As the shopkeeper, point to a toy on the shelf and ask, “Is it a car?” Change the toy word to match your choice.
  • As the customer, check your ticket. Answer “Yes, it is” or “No, it isn’t.” Try again after a mix-up, then switch roles once the order is right.
