Orchard Toys Pop to the Shops, Money Counting & Handling Board Game Age 5+

Great game to help kids start to understand money and payments. Fun easy to play and not too tedious for adults

This is a great game. My 4 year old loves it! I lost count how many times we have played it. Basically, There are 4 shops: a bakery, a minimarket, a greengrocer and a news agent. Each of them has 6 products to sell. Each player is both a shop keeper and a shopper. Each player is given a basket, plastic money (£1.5) and a figurine of Miss baker or Mr green grocer and so on. Each shop keeper needs to puts his/her products to sell on his/her shop. There is another set of all the products of all the shops that will be facing down and that each player will take one to know what they are going to to buy next, in which shop and how much it costs. Each time a player passes the bank receives 20p. Then is just starting to roll the die and shop. Wins who fills in his/her basket first. It is very good because the children have to deal with selling and buying, asking how much things cost, learning how to use money, making chage, doing polite conversation... The only thing is that all the shops/ shop keepers need to play otherwise it won't work, so if you don't have 4 players somebody need to be more than one character and manage more than one shop. Also it takes a bit of time to complete but it is a very good game.

Bought for a 5yr old for Christmas. Ideal little game which can be used with other children, although a parent initially would be good. It is an interesting and education game as it shows the process of going to the shops and the full process of buying goods. I wanted my grandson to appreciate that getting things doesn't just mean 'I want' or taking them off the shelf, in the hope that he will learn things have to be paid for.

My grandson has always loved all the orchard games from an early age, and this is no exception. he's really into counting and anything to do with numbers and loves to help his mum when shopping so I thought this would help him at the moment. Like one of the other reviewers said , we use real money too. It's not too complicated for a little one to grasp the game, and is all about learning . His attention span isn't great , so one game is usually just enough for him. And value for money cos board games are so expensive these days, and then you have the added bonus of its educational too.

I bought this for my niece (5yrs old) for Xmas. We played it on Xmas day and it was a sweet game we all play together on Xmas day. Both my nieces (her sister 7 yrs old) kept both their attention throughout the game. They love playing shops at my house when they come, either garden shops and grab all watering cans, plastic pots, smaller garden plants in pots etc or inside they pull out all my food out of my cupboard/ bags and jewellery, and spend ages playing shops. (I purchased play money from another place) So this game just continued their fascination of playing shops! I will get them to bring it with them when I have them. It good for them to learn about money, different items and what items are bought in what shops. So I thought this game was a great option for my nieces! I recommend!

Great way for them to learn about money and numbers , a great game

This game is wonderful! Our 4 year old can also play (despite it being pitched at 5-9 years) and often shouts out the coins needed before our 6 year old has worked it out. I actually bought it for our 6 year old to learn money and coins in a practical and fun way rather than just learning in workbooks, and they have both taken to it. It's quite fun and fair and also encourages taking turns and sharing. I would recommend waiting until babies/toddlers are having nap time before playing though, as they will want to steal the timer and the coins and the items...and the playing pieces...and anything else that means you can't play until they've lost interest

Unfortunately the character stands and the dice was missing from the box although it is a very fun game it wasn't very convenient to play the character flat on the board and I don't know how to fix it. I had purchased it a while ago and noticed it was a bit complicated for my 4 year old at the time so I had kept it unopened and today I realised that the pieces are missing and it's been over a year and I am not in the UK to return or repurchase. Any suggestions on how to keep the characters upright? Or do they sell the coloured stands? Thanks

Shopping game for children. Children live playing. Learn money values, grocery items, counting.

Den Spiel würde ich für Kinder ab ca. 4-5 Jahre empfehlen. Unsere Tochter ist 4,5 - sie kann den Betrag noch nicht wirklich alleine ausrechnen aber wir helfen ihr. Sie liebt aber dieses Spiel. Die Kinder können dabei spielerich auch lernen wie man z.B. die Verkäufer begrüßt und richtig um die Ware bittet, zahlt und dann sich verabschiedet.

Buen juego, piezas de calidad. Bueno para que los niños aprendan operaciones basicas, sumar restar.

Trovo questo gioco carinissimo! Molto semplice nelle regole, per bambini di 5 anni va benissimo. Lo consiglio.

Cercavo un gioco da tavolo per giocare con la mia bimba di 5 anni ed ho trovato questo produttore che aveva ottime recensioni. Siamo rimasti molto contenti di questo gioco, é fatto di cartoncino di alta qualità, i dettagli ed i disegni sono molto graziosi, il gioco stesso é divertente perfino per gli adulti. Si possono giocare fino a 4 persone, ognuno ha il proprio negozio e un cestino con degli articoli da comprare. Chi riempie per primo il cestino, vince. Ai bambini di 3-6 anni piace molto "fare la spesa" e la mia bimba si diverte tanto con questo gioco. Ci vorrebbe giocare tutti i giorni e non si stanca mai. Abbiamo preso altri giochi dell'Orchard Toys" e sono tutti bellissimi e molto divertenti. Ne acquisteremo degli altri sicuramente.
