About The Book 

Difficulty level: A1-A2 or higher

The game offers the possibility of playing at A1, A2 or higher (depending on the game variant chosen by the teacher).

Players have at their disposal 36 boards with sample shopping lists on one side and photos of various groceries on the other side. The photos of food products with their names are also placed on the enclosed deck of 66 cards (these cards, apart from their original function, can also serve as typical flashcards for learning vocabulary). 

Variant of the game in the bingo convention: Each participant of the game receives one or more boards with photos of various food products. Then, the person conducting the game draws cards one by one and, depending on the difficulty of the game, shows pictures of food products or just reads their names aloud to other game participants, whose task is to find appropriate equivalents on the board / boards they have. The winner is the player who first matches all names or illustrations of products from his board / boards to the displayed images or read names. Depending on the level of knowledge of the vocabulary and language skills of the players, the following variants of matching the cards to the boards are possible:
- product name
- product name - photo - photo
- product name - photo
- photo - product name.

Shopping game : Each game participant receives one board with a shopping list and several cards with photos of various food products. The player's task is to complete cards with all the groceries on his shopping list. To do this, the first player asks his neighbor a question about the selected food product they want to buy (for example: Hast du die Milch? ). If the asked participant of the game has a card with this product, the answer is yes, I, their habe sie. and hands the card to the questioning person, and if there is no such card, he answers: Nein, habe ich nicht. Then the questioned person asks another player about the selected food product. Each food product can be asked many times and many people, but once received a card with a food product must be given to another player who will ask for it. The winner is the player who first "buys" all the groceries on his shopping list.

Additional benefits: The language game Lasst uns einkaufen! improves mental skills such as memory, concentration and perceptiveness, promotes effective remembering and teaches activity and healthy competition, and its ludic character helps in establishing social relations with other participants of the game and has a positive effect on reducing the distance between the student and the teacher.

Additional cube: The game has been enriched with new game variants thanks to the use of an additional cube extending the educational scope of the game.

Extended manual: The game comes with an extensive manual in Polish containing:

  • methodological introduction for teachers, parents and the players themselves,
  • extensive game scenarios,
  • proposals for educational games and exercises,
  • a practical glossary of the names of food items used in the game, with a translation into Polish and phonetic transcription, intended for copying.
