Skills: Speaking, Listening, the revision of Present Simple, Present Continuos, Past Simple.
Cultural contents: To learn about the way the trade took place in ancient Greece, enact it.
Number of people involved: 5-7 people
Duration: 10-15 minutes (20 with the quiz included)
Materials: cut and previously prepared Ancient Greek paper coins
Contents: The presenter gives some general historical, geographic information about Ancient Greeks’ manner of trading in, introducing the main characters, who are going to be the sales assistants working in different stalls and the buyers. The actors need to enact the real scenes of the trade, display their capacity for negotiation and coming to some agreement.
Later on this activity could be modified into a further quiz with the students that have been only spectators, checking out what facts they remember about Ancient Greece trade, and later singling out the best pair of actors, whose play has been more realistic.

The following links will help the presenter and the actors prepare better for the staging:
