These previous items are included in the Worksheet Bargain Hunters (PDF above) but I separated them to make photocopying easier.

•  Cards ( 3 cards) with pictures of items students can sell. Peter Vahle  proposes to bring  real  stuff to class so that students can sell real items (see teacher's notes) . To avoid the hassle I have created  3  pages/cards with pictures of various items. Feel free to use them as you wish.  (3 Word documents: Items to sell)



Sample items to sell at the flea market.
