Away from the screen: Play shops at home with real coins and a few things from the pantry.
The prices here are made up for practice and are not real shop prices. Real coins are a great next step: let your child hold, sort and pay with them alongside the screen.
- Easy
- Prices under $1, small coins, and change from $1.
- Medium
- Prices from $1 to $5, enough or not, and change from $2 or $5.
- Hard
- Two or three items, notes and coins, and change from $10 or $20.
- Start on Easy, even if it looks too simple. Success first, then move up when your child wants to.
- Use real things alongside the screen: cups for sizes, coins for money, a calendar on the fridge.
- Wait a little longer than feels natural. Quiet thinking time is part of it.
- If they pick something you did not expect, ask them to tell you about it. Their reason is often interesting.
- Pointing, signing, a device or a picture card are all real answers. Speaking is not the goal here.
- Stop when it stops being fun. A few minutes, often, beats a long sitting.
- These are games, not assessments. If you have concerns, talk to a teacher or speech pathologist.
