Learning activities with play money

1. Value, reading numbers. Show the student a bill. Ask, “What is the value of this bill?”
2. How much. Put a few bills in a pile. Ask, “How much money is in the pile?” Or, put some bills in a wallet and ask, “How much money is in the wallet?”
3. Equality. Show the students a larger bill and smaller bills. Ask, “How many of the smaller bills do you need to be the same value as the larger bill?”
4. Multiplication. A toy costs $2. You want to buy one for yourself, one for your brother, and one for a friend. How much do you need?
5. Fewest bills. A new drone costs $123. What bills can you use to pay for it? Which bills would you use to pay with the fewest bills.
6. Total. Gather some groceries and put a sticker on each with a price. Ask, “What is the total?” Have the student show which bills they would use to pay the total.
7. Rounding up. Tell the student an amount. Ask, “How many $10 bills do you need to pay for this?”
8. Have enough. Give the student some bills. Ask, “Do you have enough to buy a pony for $100? How much more do you need?
9. Race to $20. Give each of a group of students some bills between $1 and $10. Each student places one of their bills in a pile by turn. If a student puts a bill on the pile that makes the value of the pile $20, they win. If a student puts a bill on the pile that makes the value of the pile over $20, they are eliminated and the game starts over.
10. More. Show two bills to the student. Ask, “Which is worth more?” Sometimes, show two bills of the same denomination.
11. Money war. Mix up a bunch of bills. Deal the bills to the students playing the game. At each turn, each student pulls one bill off of the top of their stack and place it in the middle. If one student places a bill larger than any of the others, that student wins. If more than one student has the largest bill, they pull four bills off of the top of their stack. The game continues with the fourth bill being the one that may decide a round.
12. Find the denominations. Give a riddle such as: Jill's total is $16. She pays with four bills. What combination of bills did she pay with?
