More Summertime ideas!
If you want your child to count money throughout the summer, here is your game! Simply place muffin cups into a muffin pan and write different amounts of money in each with a marker. The student must place assorted coins in each cup. Most of the students will need to utilize a hundreds chart to do this game.
Directions:
Line a muffin pan with baking cups.
Using a permanent marker, write different money amounts on the center inside of the baking cup. For smaller children, consider smaller amounts and work up to larger amounts. For older children, start with higher amounts and work up.
Have children fill in the baking cups using the play money, counting the appropriate amount of money for each baking cup.
Check their work when completed.
Challenge #1:
You can repeat the steps above. Empty cups and have them show the amounts in a different way with different coins. (Example: Instead of two quarters for 50 cents, go back and have them do 3 dimes and 4 nickels, etc.)
Challenge #2:
Try to match the change amount with the least amount of coins as possible.
