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

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:
