Shopping Go Fish

Card game where students use shopping phrases to collect cards.

Note: Quite a bit of set up because you need to print out the cards (double sided prints the backs on the same paper), and cut all of them out. Also color ink is needed.
1. Divide the class into groups.
2.Each group gets one deck of cards.
3.Have them shuffle the cards and deal out 7-10 to each player.
4.If a student has 2 cards that are the same color and size they put them aside.
5.The first student picks someone and asks, "Excuse me, do you have a (color) (item)". ex. Do you have a yellow shirt?
6.The student that is being asks either responds. "Sorry, we don`t have that." or "Yes, what size?".
7. If yes, the first student then asks, "Do you have it in a (size)?"
If no, the first student draws from the deck.
8. The student being asked either responds "Yes, here you are" and hands the card over, or "Sorr, we don't have that." and the asking student draws.
If a pair is made the cards are set to the side.
9. The next student goes.
The first student to have no cards in their hand wins.

      I just want to say thank you so much for uploading this. I was having trouble thinking up an activity for ES 1-2nen, but your idea of goldfish gave me a great start. Could easily "easy-fy" this game for ES with "______, please?" "Yes! here you are." "No! Sorry." for any vocab. Thanks again <3
