Everything you need to know about how myplayshop helps kids build real money skills — at home and in the classroom.
Kids think they're running a shop. They're actually practising maths, building number sense, and learning real-world money skills — without realising it.
Research shows that play-based learning leads to deeper understanding. myplayshop wraps addition, subtraction, and coin recognition in a game kids genuinely want to play.
Kids don't learn with fake currency — they use the same coins and notes they see in everyday life, in 30+ currencies. This bridges the gap between screen and real world.
Younger kids enjoy scanning items and hearing the ka-ching. Older kids tackle making change, running a full shop, and beating the clock in Challenge Mode.
Simple ways to get the most out of myplayshop with your child.
Sit with your child for the first few rounds. Talk through the prices, count coins together, and celebrate when they get the change right.
After playing, take them to a real shop and let them help count coins or check the change. The skills transfer naturally.
There's no pressure to level up. Younger kids might happily scan items for weeks before they're ready for making change — and that's perfectly fine.
After a play session, review the report together. Ask questions like "How much did you earn today?" or "What was your best-selling item?" to spark conversation.
myplayshop fits naturally into maths lessons, reward time, and cross-curricular activities.
Use myplayshop as a 10-minute starter. Children practise addition and subtraction with coins before moving to the main lesson.
The game naturally adapts — younger or less confident learners can scan and count, while more advanced pupils tackle change-making and Challenge Mode.
Combine with role-play (PSHE), language learning (switch to another language!), or geography (explore currencies from around the world).
There's nothing to install or sign up for. Open it on any device with a browser — tablets, laptops, or the interactive whiteboard. It just works.
