Pizza Please!
Outline: Students take turn working and ordering their favorite pizza from Pizza Hut. Teaching Suggestions: This is a great activity to use as a follow-up lesson to a food lesson or can be done as a lesson all by itself. If you are pressed for time or have a lower-level class, remove the money option from the game. This will allow you to focus more on ordering the pizza and grammar. The special ingredient to this game is the colorful visual aids. Therefore, give yourself plenty of time to prepare the visual aids. Additionally, if you laminate the visual aids, you can reuse them in the future.
Procedure: - After you teach the vocabulary for the toppings, teach the kids how to count money.
- Teach the kids the following dialogue:
- “May I help you?”
- “Yes, thank you. I’d like a pizza please.”
- “What do you want on it?”
 - “I’d like _____ and ______ and ______.”
- “Ok, that’ll be $______, please.”
- Form a service counter using the students’ desks and chairs. Place the ingredients on the counter. Choose a set number of students to work the service counter. Each clerk should have a baker. Have the other students form a line behind the counter with their pizza money.
- As the first student walks up to the counter, the clerk leads off with the above dialogue. While the student is ordering, the clerk should be referencing the menu and adding up the total price.
- When the customer has finished ordering:
- The clerk says the price, in English if possible.
- The customer hands the clerk the money.
- The clerk yells back the order to the baker.
- While the baker is making the pizza, the clerk makes change.
- While the customer is waiting for their pizza, they step to the side while the clerk helps the next customer.
Variations: Have various counters – meat, vegetables, drinks, etc. Give the students enough money to buy several pizzas, and require them to purchase several pizzas, each with different toppings.
Tips and Cautions: This is a game where students have interactions one-at-a-time. This means there are students waiting around. Have more than two clerks and bakers behind the counter. Make sure you have plenty of blank pizzas and toppings because despite not being able to eat their orders, the kids tend to want to keep the pizzas. Make sure every student tries each position at least once. The kids LOVE money so beware they don’t become too wild with it. If they do, remove the money option from the game. Using a credit card instead of money is also an option. You might have to help the students count the money and make change.
