Supermarket of the Future

In the future there may be many other ways we can buy our shopping. Watch the video which shows how we might be able to scan in wristbands to help us shop. Then follow the instructions in the worksheet. Remember you can only buy things online or at the shops if the money is yours or bank card is yours or if you have permission to buy the item from the person whose money it is.

Discussion questions

  • What things does the cashier know about the man after he has scanned in his wristband?
  • She asks him, “Are you sure you want this cake?” Why does she do that?
  • Do you think wristbands showing all this personal information are a good idea? Why or why not?

Roleplay

A different new way we could shop in the future and discuss as a group.
