Kids Supermarket
A supermarket simulation about finding, sorting and categorising products.
Not a kitchen at all, and it is the better for being honest about that. This is a shop: products are arranged by category across aisles, a list has to be filled, and the skill being practised is observation and sorting rather than preparation.
The categorisation is genuine. Items are grouped the way a real supermarket groups them, which means finding something depends on working out which aisle it logically belongs to — a useful piece of everyday knowledge for a child who has only ever followed an adult around a shop.
It runs in a very wide layout and looks best on a desktop, where a whole aisle is visible at once. Listed here because shopping is where every recipe in this catalogue actually starts.
Controls
Tap products to put them in the basket, tap the till to pay, tap shelves to sort.
How to Play
- Take a basket and read the shopping list.
- Work out which aisle each item belongs to.
- Collect everything on the list.
- Pay at the till and sort the goods.
Tips & Tricks
Work aisle by aisle rather than list item by list item. The list is not in shop order, and following it literally means crossing the supermarket for every product.
