Let’s go grocery shopping with this fun money counting activity + game for kids ages 5-10. They can learn how to find products from a list, add up the prices, and pay for their groceries with their money.
I know that when I take my kids shopping they seem to think that they can grab anything they want and the purse is an bottomless pit that holds an endless supply of money. I think it is important to teach them that every product has a price and those prices add up. It’s also good to practice their counting out money and change skill. So let’s grab our shopping list and take out the buggy to fill it up!
