From about four to thirteen. Little Learners count and pay up to 10 cents with small coins, and the running total is said out loud. Kids work with amounts up to a euro or a dollar, and Tweens pay to the cent and give change from notes.

Which money does it use?

Euro coins and notes, or US dollar coins and notes. Switch between them with the € and $ choice under the stall.

What happens after a mistake?

Rupert says how much was put down and how much more is needed, or that it is too much. After a second try he lays out the right coins himself and the next customer comes along. Amounts a child finds hard come back more often.

No. Each round is eight customers, served at your child's own pace.

About Rupert's Market Stall

Rupert the frog keeps a market stall and the pond animals come to buy. Count what a customer has and tap what they can buy, help them pay coin by coin, or give the change from the till. Euro or dollar coins, whichever is in your pocket.

Rupert's Market Stall turns money practice into keeping a shop. Rupert the frog runs a stall by the pond, and the animals come to buy one at a time. In Count it, a customer's coins sit on the counter and the child taps the thing on the shelf they can afford. In Pay, the child helps a customer pay by tapping coins onto the counter. In Change, the customer pays with a coin or a note and the child gives the change from Rupert's till. Euro and dollar coins are both included.

Tips

Choose euro or dollar coins under the stall so they match the money your child actually handles. The game remembers the choice.
When counting, start with the biggest coin and add the smaller ones on. It is quicker, and it is how shopkeepers count.
Coins on the counter can be tapped to take them back, so there is no penalty for trying a coin and changing your mind.
For change, count up from the price to what was paid rather than taking away. Rupert gives exactly that hint after a wrong try.
Older children can aim for the fewest coins. Rupert says so when the change is paid with as few coins as possible.
Let your child pay at a shop or market stall and check the change together. A few seconds with real coins is worth a lot of screen practice.
