Learning to focus ones attention on only the information needed, while being able to discard irrelevant information is an important skill for learners of all ages and abilities.
Learning Insights:
The account below contains an account of some of the insights I gained from some my experiences playing Shopping List with my grandson. While I believe the narrative provides some worthwhile observations, it is a rather long account and so I have decided to separated from my review of the product.
Our 3.5 year old grandson is not the most competitive little guys, and many of his favorite "games" focus on a corporative goal, such as Peaceable Kingdom Snug as a Bug in a Rug Award Winning Preschool Skills Builder Game . However he does enjoy playing Shopping List Memory Game and delights in "helping" everyone win. He will even remind me or his G-Pop which items we still need to gather and where the card is; often by saying "remember you need the ....." Then pointing to the card's location. Regardless of our grandson's preference for cooperative game play over games a more competitive focus, Shopping List is one of his all time favorite games to play.
Excerpt from Owen's Learning Journal:
Today, Owen and I played "Shopping List" with 3 players, rather than just the two of us. The inclusion of an additional player added a whole new dimension to the memory aspect of the game play that I am quite embarrassed to admit was one which I hadn't quite anticipated would have such a impact on Owen's level of engagement and determination.
Rather than being able to quickly locate a shopping item which he needed for his list, that another player revealed during their turn; Owen sometimes had to wait until I had completed my turn, or his G-Pop had completed his turn, before being able to locate the coveted item he needed.
This meant Owen needed to remember the location of the card longer than when just the two of us played and he had to ignore any irrelevant items which may have come in between. This is no easy task for a child of three and a half and the increased complexity was evident in Owen's level of attentiveness.
Owen still displayed his usual eagerness to help everyone find their items (which I believe is good trait), and was he no more focused on "winning" the game than he had been when just he and I played. But he was definitely more focused on remembering a cards location in respect to the other cards. Also, he was less apt to turn over the same card repeatedly. Moreover, I noticed that Owen took more time in choosing a card, and seemed to be trying harder to remember both the location of the tile and which tiles had yet to be selected.
-------
I chose to include the except not because I found Owen's behavior intriguing and worthy of some further exploration (which was the reason for writing down my observations in his learning journal), but rather because I felt it was an important realization to share with other who purchase Shopping List by Orchard Toys.
In conclusion, I would strongly encourage those playing Shopping List with a young child to consider adding an additional player or two. Especially if the young child is finding the game play too easy. It is a strategy I plan on exploring further with some of our grandson's similar games.
Helping a young child learn to exercise an increased level control over their non-cognitive skills such as task persistence, determination, and focused attention is just as important as their acquisition of academic readiness skills -to include those traditionally associated with reading, math and science. I discovered that by adding an additional player, I could encourage the growth in both skills sets. Owen was still expanding both his vocabulary with words like wizard and eggplant and learning to recognize and read common nouns such as milk, bread, and eggs -academic skills- while also gaining control over his newly forming attention skills -non-cognitive skills- and that was a feat worth sharing...
Shopping List Memory Game is a solid educational game and definitely a great investment of both your time and resources.
If you would like to learn more about the impact of non-cognitive skills I highly recommend the book by Paul Tough Helping Children Succeed: What Works and Why
My 4 - 1/2 year old loves this Shopping List game. She loved the Ladybirds game before this, and the Bus Stop game too. Even my 2 year old is interested in the collecting and playing of this game, while being directed by his older sister. You can't go wrong with these games. I never thought that we would have "games nights" (because of video games and tv), but since we've found these games we regularly play them a few times per week. The attention span is only about 45 min to 1hr but that's quite incredible if you think about it.
I will be buying more in the future.
The shopping carts and pieces are made of thick board and very durable. All the pictures are easy to match and understand. Some of the words are very "English", and that also opens up explanations on different descriptions in the world. Great for kids to realize.
Game Play: got this for my 3 year old niece and she loves it. The game is a perfect duration for her attention span. I did tweak the rules slightly when less than 4 people are playing - we still put all the tokens in the middle but if you draw a piece that is not on anyone's board we put it to the side rather then putting it back in the pile as the instructions say to do. Helps to keep the game from taking forever since the pile of tokens gets smaller each turn doing this.
The game is clearly British based upon some of the items/tokens - i.e. one of the items is a jar of curry. We just say it is peanut butter :)
Highly recommend this game.
