Fun with Environmental Print!

This week we wanted to share a fun little game with all of our readers. 

Since neither of us speak or read Korean very well, we have been relying on educated guesses for things like brands at the grocery store, signs around town, etc. It's actually kind of fun!

Laura learned all about ENVIRONMENTAL PRINT in college, but now the idea is really hitting home, because it's how we function here in Korea. 

For those of you who are not Early Childhood people :), here's the idea. By using environmental print, a small child might be able to "read" the McDonalds sign, not because he or she can actually read, but because he or she knows that that symbol represents Mcdonalds from their experiences.  In the same way, we "know" what things and brands are here in Korea based on their packages, fonts, colors, etc.

So! Are you ready to play our fun game?

See if you know what these things are! :-) 

Post your answers if you'd like, and we'll tell you if you're right.

So... how did you do???
