Product Description

Product Description

This best-selling shopping game will help children learn about social skills as well as handling money and giving change.The game will teach them to distinguish between different coins, and to work out the value of their money. Every player takes on the role of both shopper and shopkeeper, so it also encourages role playing and polite conversation. Each player is given the same amount of plastic money, including 50p, 20p and 10p coins. Players move around the 'village' by rolling the die. Each time a player passes the Bank, they collect another 20p. The first player starts by picking a card from the table - this will determine what item the player must buy first, and therefore which shop they will need to aim for. Visit the different shops on the jigged playing board - the Mini Market, the bakery, the newsagent or the greengrocer - to buy familiar items from the other shopkeepers. Don't forget to ask politely. Players learn to work out the correct coins to use for payment, and have to work out how to give the correct change as well. An educational guide on the box shows how the game is suited to your child's education. A bright, colourful and fun shopping game, suitable for 2 to 4 players aged from 5 to 9 years.

Product Description

Help children learn about handling money and giving change by playing this fun shopping game! Go round the board from shop to shop using plastic money to buy lots of different items! Silver award winning game for 2-4 players. Links with National Curriculum Maths.

An excellent game for 5- and 6-year-olds (my daughter, 5, loves it; little brother, 2, loves joining in though the maths is somewhat beyond him!) to help them start to learn to count and add up money. There are only 10p, 20p and 50p coins but that's plenty to get them started with adding up simple amounts in their heads. The game takes maybe 15-20 minutes to play and (as well as being terribly educational) most importantly it's fun!

Like all Orchard games (we've got plenty!) it's simple, well-thought-out and well-made, with nice bright cartoony pictures of familiar things. Recommended!

Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
We have a number of Orchard Toys, and with the exception of the Greedy Gorilla game, have found them to be of a consistently high quality. Pop to the Shops is no exception. Our 5 year old daughter loves this. It took her a while just to get her read round how the money works, with change etc. but she really took to this game, and its a firm favourite.

The rules are simple to pick up, the board is colourful and encourages them to get involved, and it brings through some good role play for shopkeepers! Can't really think of any minuses!

All in all - very good value, and highly recommended.

Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
This game is a little more complicated than some of the other games in this range, but well worth it. My daughters ask to play it again and again. My 5 year old and her friends are enjoying learning to distinguish the coins and add them up to pay for items. My 3 year old also loves the game; it holds her concentration and she is starting to recognise the different coins.

One of the most fun aspects of the game is the roleplay element; when the time comes to buy something, the shopkeeper and customer have to talk to each other politely and you can experiment with different voices and accents for the shopkeeper which adds to the fun.

As other reviewers have mentioned, it is quite a long game and also it takes a few minutes to set up. But it's easy to make the game quicker by declaring in advance that the first person to buy (eg) 4 items will be the winner, instead of waiting until someone has bought 6 items.

The game is most fun with 4 players and wouldn't be so much fun with just 2 players.

If your children enjoy the Orchard Toys 'Shopping List' game, this is the ideal next step from age 3 1/2 up.

When I was younger I used to love this toy. Given that this was about 13 years ago (I'm now 16) and the game is still perfectly fine, I'd say it's pretty durable! Read more
