- Learn how to make change
- Fun twists
- 2-4 players
Learning valuable money skills is "in the bag" as you collect, count and exchange money all the way to the finish line. This educational game includes a 17" x 12" game board with spinner, 100 plastic coins, play bills, markers and a die. For 2-4 players.
What a fun way to learn about combining coins! The object of this colorful and compact board game is to earn money while winding along a cartoon path. Money is earned by landing on a square labeled with a practical chore, such as setting the table (31 cents), or an entrepreneurial endeavor, such as a lemonade stand (15 cents). In order to collect money, the spinner is used to determine which coins can or cannot be taken from the bank. If the spinner lands on "no nickels" then you collect your change with any coins except for nickels. There's an additional incentive to use critical thinking and coin combining skills. Extra money can be earned if you land on a "Bank Exchange" space and exchange your coins (for example, two nickels for a dime). As you may have suspected, the player with the most money at the end wins.

| My kids are little Scrooges so a game that allows them to make money to lord over their siblings ranks high on the fun list. The only thing I wish it has were more coins because we do tend to run out of pennies, especially. |

| We love this game. I bought it to help teach my kids about money. They learn how to make different amounts using different coins. They also learn how to exchange coins for dollars. For parents, it's a quick game to play with your kids. I just bought one for my son's classroom since they are learning about money. I'm sure the kids will love it and will learn a lot. |

| My 6 y.o. daughter and I played this game twice tonight...she received it as a Christmas gift. We both had a great time, and it was fun to watch her little mind work as she tried to figure out the different coin amounts. There are cool aspects to this game, with the money bag space, and the bank exchange. It really encourages little minds to figure out the amounts, and it's a GREAT way to learn about money (other than a workbook page). The money is even pretty realistic and detailed...and there is a nice amount of it included. She kept commenting on how much she loved this game, and I think it will really help her be more confident in counting money and remembering which coin is valued for how much etc. Two thumbs up!!! |

| Well this is a good game for learning about coins. My daughter likes it and we play it often. However the one thing I wish they would change is the area where you keep the coins in the "bank". The flimsy cardboard dividers are lousy and don't keep the coins seperated very well. There needs to be a hard plastic type storage area to keep the coins seperated. |

We keep getting requests to play this game. I love the educational value. It is wonderful to see children make the connection with exchanging smaller coins for larger coins and then dollar bills. Very practical, but it is so much fun for them, they don't realize they are learning while they play. Great game for early elementary children. Not something I would choose to play all the time, but I didn't purchase this for myself.
I will consider giving this for birthday gifts and as a donation to the school to add to their rainy day games. |
