20 Spanish Bargaining Role Play Cards & How To Buy & Sell Reference Sheets

Resource 1 - 20 Spanish Bargaining Role Play Cards with Clothing Vocabulary

Get your students up, moving, having fun, AND speaking Spanish with these Spanish bargaining role-play cards. Each set of cards (10 sets total) consists of a buyer role and a seller role and is set in a specific Spanish-speaking country. Exchange rates are listed for foreign currencies, and this really gets your students thinking!

Instructions are included for the teacher to set up two different types of activities for your class. The cards are great for warm ups too. Each buyer card has a list of what they are looking for and how much money they have to spend. Each seller card has a list of their items and how much they paid for the product. The sellers are trying to make the most money they can and the buyers can’t spend more than they have. My students really love bartering with each other and get very into it!

Clothing vocabulary is used in the role-play cards and a full English / Spanish clothing vocabulary list and Quizlet link is included in this download as well!
