Buying and Selling a Pony

Grown from Write a Pony For Sale Advert: both sides of the deal, honestly done.

Seven activities about buying and selling well. Children write an honest advert, work out the questions a buyer must ask, read between the lines of vague adverts, budget for the first year, plan a viewing and think about what a fair deal looks like for the pony. Every activity has a harder strand for anybody who wants the stretch.
