Roll Five Money Game

Do you teach money? I always like to find fun ways for my students to learn. Right now we are working on money, so I created a new game called the Roll Five Money Game. We have been having fun with it in my classroom all this week. 

My students already have a pretty good grasp of money, but I still need to provide them with practice time and make sure everyone is getting it. I started off using this game as a whole class activity, dividing the class up into small groups. I did this by giving everyone a recording sheet and a coin chart. Then I placed a cup of coins for the group to share. It was a little loud, but they were excited. I had them do this for a couple of days and then had them play as partners.

When I'm done with this game in the classroom I will have my students take it home so that they can continue to use it with their families. This game has been a good way for my students to practice money and have fun with it.

It is a very simple packet that is easy to use and easy to prep. The most difficult part was making sure that I had enough coins, which wasn't really that difficult since I keep a coin jar at home.

Everyone in my classroom has a pocket sheet protector and a whiteboard marker, which I love. This allows them to reuse this activity over and over again. You could also do this for a center activity. 



I hope that you like this fun math idea. I have several other resources for teaching money if you are interested. Click the link to visit my TPT Store and enter "money" in search.
