A woman in a country in the South who makes mats. Divide the class in half. Give them a short time to work together on the best way to explain their system to other people. Encourage learners to check their understanding of what the other pair tell them. The aim of this activity is to explore whether a system like LETS could be more realistic than people might think.
Learners work individually.
Get someone to start things off by telling the others what they can do, and what they want. People often realise they can do something that someone else wants, or that they could use a service someone else is offering, although they didn't think of it before the activity started.
