Pennies, Nickels, and Dimes

An easy and fun coin counting game we have learned in our classroom today is how to add pennies, nickels, and dimes. You will need a variety of coins, and two dice. Here are the rules:

1) Mix all of the coins together in a pile
2) Roll the two dice, and add up all of the "dots"
3) However many dots there are, that's how many coins you pick (pick randomly)
4) Line up the coins from greatest value to least value
5) Count the coins from greatest value to least value

Have fun playing! You can also do this with a spinner from any board game to determine how many coins you will choose!
