Fika and pretend play in a cake shop

For This activity we sat up a cake shop in the gym, where kids enjoyed buying fika using fake money and coins in order to buy real fika (cookies which they baked the day before, fruits, and sugar free saft). The kids enjoyed that time where they could buy real fika as it is in the real cake or coffee shop. After they enjoyed their fika, they had a free time, pretending as they sell and buy fika to each other. Everyone enjoyed.

Purpose:

• To learn about different rules inside different kinds of shops.
• To know that  if we need to buy something, we need to pay first.
• To develop their social and communications abilities.
• To help them to improve self-esteem, and able to express themselves through playing.
