Money Game

Each player starts the game with $5.00.Take turns drawing a card.Either add or subtract the amount on the card. If your total goes below zero, the other player gets $1.00 from the bank and you start over at zero on your next turn. The winner is the player with the most money when there are no more cards to draw.

1. Dollars and Dice

This game requires dice and real or cardboard coins, and is appropriate for kids who know how to add numbers. The goal of the game is to collect the correct number of coins to create a dollar. Players take coins based on a roll of the die. The numbers on the die correlate to the coin values

2. Money Matching

The difficulty of this game can be varied depending on the needs of the young players. For children who are learning to count but are not adding yet, keeping values small and just using pennies will be effective. For older children who can add, use higher values and all of the coins. Players take turns drawing cards and then use the coins to create the value shown on their card. There are typically no winners in this game, but perhaps you can provide a small reward like a sticker every time a player gets the right answer.

3. Hide and Seek

You can modify this game depending on children's ages and counting levels. Parents hide coins, real or pretend, around the house. Children are then set loose to find as many coins as they can. Pennies can be used for younger children and the rest of the coins can be added in for older kids.

4. Shopping Center

This game works well for younger kids who are learning to count. Gather a number of toys and place price tags on them, keeping the prices countable in pennies. Have the children identify the price and count out the number of coins they need to buy the item.

5. Money Toss

This variation of old-fashioned penny pitching has children tossing mixed coins into a bowl. Those that stay in the bowl become part of the winner's stash, while those that land outside the bowl ​go to the other player.
