LUK Learning system
Posted April 18th, 2011 by adminI stumbled upon this excellent children game in the booth selling IQ games at Tesco 3 years ago. I became impressed as a result of innovative contents. Besides, children can start to play independently and checking their unique answers. I still remember among the puzzles showing the superior view of an swimmer wearing a cap, as well as the kids are asked to identify the respective side view with the swimmer. That requires a relatively good imagination through the children. However, the purchase price scared me off. Its a minimum of RM600 . The sales lady told me until this game had over thirty years history in Germany.
Okay, you may not understand what is this Luk and Bambino Luk, Ive discovered a web site that demonstrates this. Check out the demonstration and you may understand what I mean
BambinoLuk (2-4 years of age) : Introduction, Demonstration , Samples
MiniLuk (4-8 yrs . old): Introduction, Demonstration , Samples
(note: Cleaning it once a to purchase from their store in mid 2009 but looks like they didnt sell outside US)
I believe you will be impressed too studying the Samples and demonstration . I strongly believe that by exposing the kids about bat roosting games, were developing their intelligence, with regards to sequencing, imagination and association. You are able to tell that im convinced and i also would buy, but forking out RM600 is quite painful, especially in a stage that I dont know my children want.
By the way, I will be a major fan of Dr Glenn Doman(proposed utilization of flash cards) and Dr Howard Gardner(proposed Multiple Intelligence concept), I think that parents should stimulate children to believe and sharpen their brain because brain development happen at early childhood. Id finish reading their books in the past. Thats the main reason I had been convinced with ease.
It so happened which i had a short vacation to Germany inside the following month. Although not enough time, inside the available a couple of hours, I were go to a bookstore to find out about this Luk system. Yes, the sales girl was right that it was popular in German for over many years. I had a difficult time to determine what to purchase. Unlike other regions of the world, in Germany, the Luk system features a very wide varieties, and i also was selecting from a variety of 50-100 books. All of them is approximately 5-7Euro. I purchased several books plus a controller, amounting to RM200 while using kind the help of the Germany salesman translating for me personally. Thats 1/3 with the price in comparison to things i saw.
My son had completed all the exercises of the bambinoLUK set. I desired to get additional, but Some have possiblity to visit Germany and I cant afford a trip like that. I ran across a toy shop in United Square Singapore located on the basement. The official website might 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 considering that we had to be able to give it a shot, I made the decision to cover. May be partly for the reason that owner was very friendly and kind. As expected, I realised later which it was sold cheaper, about half price in US. My pal experimented with obtain Amazon, however, since not offered directly by Amazon, they did not sell beyond US.
I also came across a cheap version, bought from pasar malam. The controller looked nearly the same as the miniLuk system. It had been sold at cheaper price, but still at RM160! However the quality had no match towards the miniLuk system. Besides, I additionally suspected that it might be pirated copy. Checking the contents, I found that this Germany Intelligence in the game was missing. It appeared to be a compilation which includes a number of subjects, with out a key learning theme.
I introduced this glorious product to many people. One friend found ways to do parallel imports. The website is introducing the games at much more affordable price. The goods are genuine good quality goods. You can go to the web site G-minimall here. I had obtained a couple more sets, which I could not find in Malaysia nor Singapore with their help.
I usually admire German engineers for innovation and good engineering. I believe IQ games like this contribute with this. I value innovation models like this. But please arent getting me wrong, I would not believe that IQ games could make a kid more clever and definitely you are unable to build a genius away from these. But the IQ games can make a kid more intelligent in ways based on Dr Howard Gardner. But unfortunately, its not commonly accessible to us….
