Description
Make learning to add money fun and engaging! These games and activities give students hands-on practice adding decimals using coins and notes, helping them build confidence with real-world money skills. Because there are no references to specific currencies, this set is perfect for use in any country — a flexible, ready-to-go resource for your classroom.
What's Included
This resource includes 5 engaging money games:
- Words with Value – Students make words and then calculate the total value of each word using a provided code.
- Roll Two Dollars – students will take turns rolling dice and adding the number that they land on to their running total. They repeat this until one of them reaches or passes $2.00.
- Bankrupt – Students calculate a running total of their “bank account” based on dice rolls. Rolling a 6 causes them to go “bankrupt” until the next round.
- Race to the Right Change – Students use coins to count out a given total as quickly as possible.
- I Have, Who Has (Small Group Version) – A collaborative game designed for 6 or 12 students to practice adding money in a fun, interactive way.
How To Use It
To make the games more hands-on and specific to your own currency, have students use play coins and notes to help them with their addition during these games. If your students have already had lots of practice with using play money, then you may prefer to use these games as print and go worksheets, having your students practice adding the decimal values without the aid of physical coins and notes.
These activities make great math centers and math small group tasks. They can also be used for whole class lessons or individual tutoring sessions.
