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 Exchang… More >> Learning Resources Money Bags A Coin Value Game

This is an educational game that helps teach kids about money and making change using different coins. My kids need help with this so this is a great fun way to help them. Rating: 5 / 5

Fun and educational toy. Earlier my daughter is poor in differentiating the quarters and nickels. Now she mastered that skill after playing this game. Must buy for all kids . Rating: 5 / 5

I purchased this game for my son when he was 5 (now 6) and he asks to play it on a daily basis! It can be played in less than 10 minutes, so we usually play a few rounds at a time. It teaches basic money math in that only the coins are used. There are $1 bills, but those only come in to play if you want to cash the change in (Bank Exchange). Basically, you move around the board and collect money for doing certain chores that you land on by rolling a die. There is a spinner and it might say that you cannot be paid with nickels (or dimes or quarters) for your chore, so you have to learn how to make the change using the different coins other than the easiest or most obvious way. If you spin “Money Bags”, you have to give your chore money to the pot in the middle of the game board and if you land on the $ sign, you get to take the change from Money Bags. The winner is the person who finishes with the most money (generally less than $2). I really enjoy playing the game with my son and wish this game was around when I was learning about money. This is perfect for kids just learning about money, however it does not teach them how to make change (you only add the coins up so you can be paid for your chore), so I would really only recommend it for ages 4 to 6.
