The shopman should stand behind a table or desk, and have articles made up in parcels ready for sale. 'The Shop' described in 'Kindergarten Guide,' p. 230,[1] would do nicely for this game. The children who go shopping should be dressed in outdoor costume, and each carry a basket. They should also have money; imitation cardboard coins (for cost[2]) would do. (Customer walks up to the counter.) SHOPMAN Good morning, ma'am, how do you do? And pray what can I get for you? CUSTOMER Good morning, shopman, will you please To weigh for me a pound of cheese? [The packet is handed to customer.] CUSTOMER Here is a shilling [handing it], eightpence take, SHOPMAN And fourpence change [giving fourpence to customer] just twelvepence make. The children should also ask for other articles, without using the rhymes, and they should be encouraged to speak clearly and distinctly, and to address the shopman civilly. This will be likely to assist them in going errands for mother. [1] See Appendix III. [2] See Appendix IV.
