- Describe a time they or a family member bought something from a person (market stall, car boot sale, bake sale)

## Lesson: Buyers and Sellers

You have learned about goods and services. A seller offers a good or a service for money. A buyer pays the seller to get it. For goods, the buyer gets the thing. For services, the buyer gets work done, like a haircut.

**Example.** Ivy sells bread at her stall. Eli picks a loaf. Eli pays Ivy, and Ivy gives him the bread. Eli is the buyer. Ivy is the seller.

*(drawing: When you buy a good at a stall, you pick it, pay the seller and get the item.)*

A bake sale sells food. A car boot sale sells used things. You can sell in one trade and buy in another. Play shop with a partner, a toy and pretend money. Take turns being buyer and seller.

Tell a grown-up about a time you or someone in your family bought something from a person. What was bought? Where? Who paid, and who sold it? If you cannot remember, ask a family member about a purchase, then retell it.

**Recap.** A buyer pays for a good or a service. A seller offers it for money.
