a deck of cards (Remove all face cards)
an assortment of coins
Put all the cards face down in a pile. Player 1 flips over one card and counts out coins to match the card. (ex. Player 1 flips over a 7. He/She counts out a nickel and two pennies.) Player 2 checks to see if Player 1 is correct. If Player 1 is correct, he/she gets to keep the card. If Player 1 is incorrect, the card is returned to the bottom of the pile. The first person to get 10 cards is the winner.
