LUK Learning system
I stumbled upon this glorious children game inside a booth selling IQ games at Tesco 36 months ago. I had been impressed due to the innovative contents. Besides, children can start to play by themselves and checking their very own answers. I still remember one of the puzzles showing the most notable view of an swimmer wearing a cap, along with the youngsters are asked to spot the respective side view of the swimmer. That requires a relatively good imagination from the children. However, the cost scared me off. Its a minimum of RM600 . The sales lady explained this game had greater than thirty years history in Germany.
Okay, you may not know what is this Luk and Bambino Luk, I have discovered a web site that demonstrates this. Read the demonstration and youll understand what im saying
BambinoLuk (2-4 years of age) : Introduction, Demonstration , Samples
MiniLuk (4-8 yrs . old): Introduction, Demonstration , Samples
(note: I could to buy from their store in mid 2009 but seems like they did not sell outside US)
I believe you will be impressed too looking at the Samples and demonstration . I strongly feel that by exposing the children about bat roosting games, were developing their intelligence, regarding sequencing, imagination and association. You can tell that we are convinced i would buy, but forking out RM600 is quite painful, especially with a stage that I am not sure the kids would like it.
In addition, Im a huge fan of Dr Glenn Doman(proposed utilization of flash cards) and Dr Howard Gardner(proposed Multiple Intelligence concept), I really believe that parents should stimulate children to consider and also to sharpen their brain because brain development happen at early childhood. I needed finish reading their books years back. Thats the reason why I used to be convinced without difficulty.
It so happened i a short day at Germany inside following month. Although lack of time, within the available 2 hours, I managed to go to a bookstore to discover more on this Luk system. Yes, the sales girl was right that it had been popular in German for over thirty years. Id difficulty to decide what you should purchase. Unlike other regions around the globe, in Germany, the Luk system features a very wide varieties, i was selecting from a range of 50-100 books. Each one is around 5-7Euro. I got myself several books and a controller, amounting to RM200 while using kind the aid of the Germany salesman translating for me personally. Thats 1/3 from the price compared to a few things i saw.
My son had completed the many exercises of this bambinoLUK set. I desired to obtain additional, but Some have opportunity to visit Germany and that i cannot afford a visit like that. I ran across a toy shop in United Square Singapore located in the basement. The official website could possibly be found here. My son had to be able to consider it and tested before I paid SGD100 for a couple of 5 books. I knew in Germany and US, this is cheaper but given that we had a chance to test it, I chose to spend. Could be partly since the owner was very friendly and kind. As you expected, I discovered later which it was sold cheaper, about 50 % price in US. My pal attempted to obtain Amazon, but again, since not offered directly by Amazon, they didnt sell outside US.
I additionally stumbled on a cheap version, purchased from pasar malam. The controller looked nearly the same as the miniLuk system. It was sold at cheaper price, but nevertheless at RM160! However the quality had no match to the miniLuk system. Besides, Also i suspected that it could be pirated copy. Checking the contents, I came across that this Germany Intelligence amongst gamers was missing. It seemed like a compilation which contains a variety of subjects, with out a key learning theme.
I introduced this excellent product to many people people. One friend found a way to do parallel imports. Their site is introducing the games at far more affordable price. Items are genuine top quality goods. You can travel to the site G-minimall here. Id purchased a couple more sets, which I cant get in Malaysia nor Singapore using help.
I admire German engineers for their innovation and good engineering. In my opinion IQ games similar to this contribute within this. I value innovation items like this. But please dont get me wrong, I would not believe IQ games will make a child more clever and definitely you cant produce a genius from these. Though the IQ games will make a young child more intelligent in such a way based on Dr Howard Gardner. However, its not commonly accessible to us….
