Learning How to Make Change with Money

I love all the wonderful resources on TeachersPayTeachers. Recently I received the Piggy Race Game, and knew it would be a perfect game to play during spring break.

Directions: Spin to see how many spaces to move. Show the value on your space with coins. If you show the correct value, you get to stay on that space. If you don't show the correct value, you have to move back the number of spaces you spanned. The first player to land on finish and show the value correctly, wins!

The boys enjoyed counting out the money, I don't think they even realized they were learning! I added an extra challenge that they could not repeat the same coins if they landed on the same spot, which happened a few times. Take a look at Teachers Pay Teachers, there is bound to be something that your children will enjoy.
