 Let’s Play Shop

Included: cash register mat in color and in black and white,

money reference chart in color and in black and white, play money
in color and in black and white, addition mat, two styles of price
tags with prices, two styles of blank price tags, fruit stand mat,
vegetable stand mat, and four shop signs

Brief description of each included item:

1. Cash register mat- This will serve as a cash register while you
play shop. It can also be used as a sorting mat for the money. For
a younger child you will probably want to help them sort the
money onto the mat and have them pay from the sorted money.
Talk to the child about the color, size, and name of each piece of
money. For an older child or a child more familiar with money you
may want to provide a wallet or purse with coins and dollars in it.
You can print in color or in black and white and color by hand.
2. Money reference chart- As you play shop the child can refer to
this chart if they need help figuring out which coins are needed to
make the correct amount of money. Tell the child how to read the
chart, example- Five cents and five cents is ten cents. This can be
printed in color or black and white.
3. Play money- You can use your own play money or print play
money in color or in black and white to color by hand.
4. Addition mat- Set this up beside your cash register mat as you
play shop. Show the child how they can use the chart as reference
and place the money on the mat to add them to get the correct
amount of money. For example if fifteen cents is needed, you will
place a nickel in the first box and a dime in the second box, say
five cents and 10 cents is- , then move both coins together to the
third box and say -15 cents in all.
5. Price tags- Included are two styles of price tags, each with
eight tags with prices and eight blank price tags. The priced tags
will be good for younger children new to the concept of money
and adding. They will not need more than two pieces of money to
make the amounts. I recommend using a hole punch and string
for the price tags, then hanging them on the items for sale. As
you play shop you can have them either buy only one item at a
time or give them a shopping bag or play shopping cart to shop
for multiple items. You may want to secure the string to the items
with clear tape. For an older child needing practice or review, or to
extend the activity to more challenging addition, you can make
your own prices.
6. Fruit Stand mat and Vegetable Stand mat- These pages are
only available in color. Both are formatted the same. Each has six
food items with a price. There are several ways to use these mats.
The child can place the correct change on top of each fruit. The
child can pick their favorite fruits and vegetables and place the
correct change on top of each. You can give them a specific
amount of money, enough to buy one, two, or three specific
items, and they will need to compare the money they have with
the items on the stand. They will pick which items they can buy
with the money they have available.
