Supermarket Fun Game! :)

It's Saturday already! Yay! Hope everyone had a great week! Despite the wet weather this whole week, C and I managed to get out and play whenever the sun was out. It sure makes us appreciate the sunshine a lot more than usual! Hehe.

Look at C raring to go at the playground! Haha.

C had fun cycling too!

Meanwhile, on one of the days when we were stuck indoors, we came up with a supermarket game to have some fun while learning! :)

Supermarket Game!

C was excited to play the game!

This game includes:

- A Game Board
- Supermarket Items (like bread, milk, eggs, fruits, meat and seafood)
- Shopping Basket (Make Your Own Basket Activity)
- Supermarket Shelves
- Shopping Money
- Playing Cards

Game Board and Supermarket Items

Make Your Own Basket Activity and Supermarket Shelves

C helped to make her own shopping basket!

Shopping List and Arranging Cards (Playing Cards)

Shopping Money

This game allowed C to:

- Learn to read (shopping lists)
- Recognize and count items
- Search for items that begin with certain letters
- Practise her Scissor Skills (to make her own shopping basket)
- Calculate money (shopping money comes in denominations of $1 and $10)

To play the game, print, laminate and cut out the various supermarket items, playing cards and shopping money. You will also need:

- Dice
- Your own player token (anything that fits the game board will work!)

First, have your child arrange 5 of each supermarket item onto the correct shelves. Set aside the remaining supermarket items (A) on a separate area nearby.

Designate someone to be the customer and someone to be the cashier. The customer starts off with $25. The idea of this game is to roll the dice and move your token around the game board. When you land on a square with the shopping list icon, pick a card from the shopping list stack. Shop for the items on the list and place them in the shopping basket.

If you land on a square with the shopping cart icon, pick a card from the arranging card stack. Read the card and help arrange the specific item from the remaining supermarket items (A) on to the correct shelf.

You also get chances to earn shopping money along the way! After each round, calculate the cost of the items in your shopping basket. For simplicity, everything was priced at $1 each. C was thrilled to be both the customer and cashier! Haha. :)

Well, there are no hard and fast rules for this game. You can also come up with your own ways to play the game if you wish! Most importantly, have fun while learning! :)

We also came up with some Supermarket Math and Word Worksheets:

Here's wishing everyone a fun and enjoyable weekend ahead! :)

Candy Fun, Candy Puzzle and Candy Shot Game!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far! Life's been sweet since Bites N Delights, fulfilling a baking passion deep inside! I had so much fun baking these Halloween treats last weekend, 

Halloween cookies by Bites N Delights!

and if your kids still have lots of candies from their trick-or-treating, the following candy-themed activities may be just for you! Free printable can be found at the end of this post! :)

Candy Fun!

Print out the candies and cut them out. Roll the dice and place the correct number
of candies in the candy jar!

This is a simple activity that just requires the print out and a roll of the dice. You can even use real candies if you'd like. The idea is for our kids to recognize the number of dots on the dice and place the correct number of candies into the candy jar! A fun way to reinforce counting! To make it more challenging, you can use two dice, and have your child add the dots on both of them! :) 

Candy Puzzle

For this candy puzzle, we jumble up the nine candy squares and ask our child to place them on the 3 x 3 grid such that when we add the number of candies in each row and column, they all add up to the same number! In this puzzle, they should all add up to 6.

Success! C is thrilled! Haha.

Candy Shot!

This fun game uses a balloon stretched over a paper roll to shoot candy targets to get points! Introduced C to numbers in a series of 10s (10, 20, 30, and 40, adding up to 100 points).

You need: Scissors, Balloon and Paper Roll.

Print out the candy targets and position them. Use the balloon
roll and shoot them down!

Take a look at the little video of C playing Candy Shot! :)

Here's wishing everyone a lovely week ahead! :)
