Set Up a Classroom Store<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get a set of fake coins and bills (usually made of paper and plastic) for your classroom.\u00a0 Tell students they can earn different coins for doing different activities like completing classwork.\u00a0 They can then add up their coins and buy things from the store like pencils, cute mini erasers, sharpeners, or other fun items!\u00a0 You can also have them practice making change if they give more money than required.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have a set of plastic coins and bills you can print some off on paper and use those instead!<\/p>\n

Play A Class Game<\/h2>\n

This I Have Who Has Game<\/strong><\/a> (without the penny) can be so much fun to play with your class!\u00a0 All students get cards and ask “Who has” the amount shown on their card.\u00a0 It’s a great way to practice counting coins!<\/p>\n
