Going to the Store: Local Customs

Many customs differ from country to country. This activity allows students to practice their English along with the local customs expected when shopping in a store. Students will use the template provided to create a three cell storyboard that covers how to maneuver through the aisles, how to ask for help, and how to check out. Students can practice their English and demonstrate their knowledge of the answers to these prompts by writing in the description boxes as well as including speech bubbles within their illustration. Afterwards, students can present their storyboards to the class adding a speaking component to the activity!

As an addition to this activity, teachers may ask students to add a row and answer the prompts for their country or culture, allowing them to teach others about their culture and extend their English practice.
