Kids Go Shopping!
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
And here we are, taking the kids out for shopping at various places including the hypermarket, grocery shop, bookshop & the wet market! Now, let’s list down what do they LEARN out of this trip, shall we?
- Shopping manners (excuse me, please & thank you!)
- Writing the shopping list (wants vs. needs)
- Reading the product label (checking expiry date and looking for Halal logo)
- Direction – finding way to the aisle of specific item
- Money (checking & comparing the price)
- Counting & weighing
- Observing healthy vs. unhealthy food
- Spending within the budget
- Opportunity for interaction & conversation
- Language & vocabulary (new words)
- Practical problem solving
- Using all the senses to experience shopping – touching, smelling, squeezing, shaking, and looking at the items
Shopping with kids might involve a little extra planning, and the shopping might take a little longer, but it is well worth it, InsyaAllah, given the benefits they will gain from this exposure.
Hope you enjoy looking at the photos as much as we enjoyed the shopping trips! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Entrepreneur Week – Let the Kids run the Business!
We are so excited this week as we are running a special event at Alif Ceria on 22nd & 23rd September 2016, as part of the activities during the Entrepreneur Week.
The event provides kids the opportunity to experience entrepreneurship by learning how to start, own and operate their own stand business. From sandwiches, ice cream and nasi lemak to stationery, magazines and toys, kids are exposed to real buying and selling affairs. While the sellers learnt how to setup their stalls, put the price tags, greet the customers and count the profit at the end of the day, the little buyers dealt with dilemma and decision making on what to buy with the limited pocket money ;-).
It was surely an enjoyable yet memorable event for everyone. Sharing some of the moments captured during our AC Mini Carnival 2016🙂
All profits earned from this event has been donated to a charity fund for school kids of Sekolah Kg. Kajhu in Acheh and also to nearby mosques and musollah, Alhamdulillah. Another great tip in the business world – the more you give, the more you get, InsyaAllah 🙂
