Recently Sunny likes a game called "buy and sell" which she created by herself. The material is very simple, just cards. She pretends to be the seller, I pretend to be the buyer. And the products can be everything in your house, can be as small as a bottle of water, a box of cookie, can be as big as a fridge, a TV. The big price range can make the game more interesting and more challenging. Also it's a good way to practice add and subtract with the young students.
The value of the cards is each number under 10 represents $1-$10, and every picture cards represents $100, so enough money to buy stuffs!
The fun part is kid can quote whatever they feel comfortable, which they can handle, when they feel more confident of the numbers, then they will quote some big numbers to make it a little difficult. For example, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100 is very easy to handle, then maybe 9, 12, 36, 72. But still workable, the only thing is when I gave her a bunches of small numbers to match her big price, she has to add them first, so sometimes she may forget the original price. But it's ok, game is to have fun! Sometimes I will give her a little more or a little less to confuse her, but she will return the extra "money" or burst out "mama, it's not enough!" lol! I know, I am testing you!
I am so happy she likes this game, so whenever she wants to play, I will stop my stuffs and play with her!
