Work together as a team to get everything on your list as quickly as possible. Start a stopwatch on your phone, and go, go, go! Or, try a \u2018beat the clock\u2019 challenge &#8212; set a timer for 20 or 25 minutes and challenge yourselves to complete the list before the buzzer. This is a fabulous way to bond and build cooperation skills, and it has the added benefit of getting you in and out of the shop as quickly as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bingo\">2.

Before you leave home, draw a grid on a piece of paper. In each square of the grid, write down an item you intend to buy or know that they\u2019ll see. Bring along a bright pen or a sheet of stickers so that they can mark off items on their Bingo card as you shop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might even designate a whole notebook for this purpose so that you can create a new Bingo card every week and keep track of past ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"work\">3.

Ask them to cross items off the shopping list, put items in the trolley,  help you pick loose fruit and veg and read out the prices on the shelves to determine which item is cheaper (introducing the important concept of budgeting). Most kids love to help and feel useful &#8212; and all of these tasks will keep their hands and minds occupied!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maths\">4.

Throughout your shop, get your children to guess the price of each item you put in your trolley \u2014 block the view of the shelf if necessary. The person who guesses the closest gets a point. You can also have children guess the grand total at the till. The child with the most points at the end wins! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For older kids, you might ask them to keep a running total of your bill in their head, adding on the price of each item as it goes into your trolley. This involves both maths and memory! And, of course, you might want to offer them a little treat if they manage to get the total exactly right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toys\">5.

They\u2019ll have a brilliant time pretending and playing around in-character, and they may even get some friendly smiles from fellow shoppers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hunt\">7.

In each aisle, challenge kids to look for a particular letter or word. Young children might look out for the letter A, while you might ask older children to look for words such as &#8216;offer&#8217; or &#8216;natural&#8217; or &#8216;blueberry&#8217;. This can help build letter and word recognition, and it gives kids a specific and satisfying task to focus on as you complete your shop. It&#8217;s a win-win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For more great ways to keep kids entertained, check out the toys &amp; games on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/popular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our website<\/a>!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Why did the banana go to the doctor? <strong>Because it wasn&#8217;t peeling well!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/jokes\/\" style=\"background-color:#18aa1d\">WICKED UNCLE JOKE FACTORY<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shopping with kids is often a necessity, but it\u2019s also a brilliant way to reinforce educational concepts, build important life skills and have fun as a family.
