A couple of my kids’ favorite things are games and money. Combine the two and you have a couple of happy kids! I found the game Making Cents online (I can’t remember where to give credit). It’s very simple and uses things that everyone will have on hand.
Needed:
- one die
- 25 pennies
- 10 nickels
- 10 dimes
- 1 quarter
Players take turns rolling the dice. The ‘bank’ pays players a penny for each number rolled. When the player gets 5 pennies or more, he trades them to the bank for a nickel, and so on. The first player to get a quarter wins!
Parker and Sophie really enjoyed this game and we played a bunch of times. The games do not last very long so that is a plus too!
