playing grocery store


Sky especially loves this game...we made up grocery items and assigned price tags.  We also had fruit, books, and candy at the store.  We made little name tags "cashier Sky".  We used the iPad as a make believe cash register...but they were adding the currency in their heads (good practice!).  They greeted each other and even improvised small talk...so cute.  "Thank you for shopping at Safeway!" she say as she handed the bag to Aiden. Sky was very creative with her side conversations. She'd take a call from her make believe son "I'm sorry honey, I can't talk to you right now because I'm helping this man buy some things he needs for his kids, ok? So please don't call me again."  Then later, "ok, I already told you I can't talk right now..what is it?" Sometimes Aiden played the "grocery bagger boy" who was supposedly a teenager with his first job.  The teenager would play on his phone and forget to bag the groceries. He'd eat the candy at the register and be lazy.  Finally, the store manager/cashier fired him. When he didn't leave, we had to call the police on him to remove him from the store.
