Shopping for Fruit with Doraemon

Simple shopping game to practice fruit names, please, and small numbers.

Game I made for a small, mixed-grade special needs class.
Shizuka and Gian want to cook something, but they need help shopping for ingredients.
There should be two groups, one group of shoppers and one group of shopkeepers (I had the teachers play the shopkeepers, but you can also have the students do it and then switch).
Shopkeepers should receive various fruit cards. They should have a set of one type fruit (in this case, four), but they shouldn't have more than a few varieties. Depending on how long you want the activity to last, you can increase the number of shopkeepers. I put the shoppers in groups of two.
Play the powerpoint up until the 手本 section, which is a sample conversation between Nobita and a shopkeeper. Give each group of shoppers a shopping list. Their goal is to collect everything on their list. Because each shopkeeper has different types of fruits, they will have to visit several shopkeepers to collect everything.
The goal of this game is for students to practice saying fruit names as well as using "please." Shopkeepers will also ask how many of each fruit they want and shoppers will also have to say numbers (up to four).
Once the shoppers collect everything and you confirm that they're done, play the rest of the powerpoint. Shizuka makes a delicious parfait and Gian makes something less delicious.
The PDF includes the shopping list prints as well as fruit cards you can use for the activites. There should be just enough for each list, with two left over cherry cards. If you want to make this work for larger groups, you can duplicate the shopping lists and fruit cards.

      This is so well done! The animations, the font, the polish. Will see if I can use this in a couple of my classes, thank you so much!

      This is great! My coworker wants to do this kind of thing with some 2nd graders.
