Learning Resources Money Bags Math Game - Classroom Math Games, Financial Literacy for Kids, Counting Board Game

Quick, easy, and fun family game to practice money math and counting with a variety of coins. Excellent for homeschoolers; basic to proficient. My whole family enjoys it! It doesn’t take too long to play. It’s an excellent way to practice counting and introduce money to our 4 year old. And has really helped my 8 year old get confident at counting by 5s, 10s, 25s, adding, and exchanging money. There are really no negatives.

Such a fun and competitive game. I love that it also teaches them money.

The coins are high quality reproductions the same diameter as real US coins. They are made of hard plastic, and are thicker than real coins so as to make them easier to pick up. The Dimes and Quarters even have ridges. This is a simple little game for children. The game requires children to add up coins to variable amounts, and to exchange smaller value coins for the equivalent in larger value coins. This occurs by rolling a die, moving their piece on the gameboard, landing on a square with a monetary value, and then spinning a spinner which modifies how the amount can be built (e.g., “no dimes”). At no point do the players “make change”, which is a much harder concept. There is no subtraction in this game. The banker should be a child.

I bought this for my daughter who is 6.5 years old to help with learning about money and adding. I looked at a ton of games and I liked that this one had realistic looking money, didn't involve a calculator and was a good price. The game is really easy to understand, set up and play. While it's on the boring side for us adults (unlike some kid games), our daughter LOVES it. We have played it just short of a million times in a couple of days and unfortunately that's no exaggeration! She learned the different coins quickly with the game and her speed at adding and adding larger numbers (25 + 25 for two quarters for instance) is getting quicker as well. It's pretty much all a game of luck, so everyone has an equal chance at winning. I recommend the game since it does what's intended in a way that's clearly age appropriate and fun based on my daughter's reaction!

I bought this game to play with my three kids whom we homeschool. I thought it would be a fun way to practice math and they do love it! They are asking us to play all the time. They also use the money for games they make up and pretending to own stores and use the money to purchase things, and they do their math just the same. Fantastic! Here is the sellers product description from the listing: Product Description Valuable money skills are "in the bag" as students collect, count and exchange money all the way to the finish line. Includes game board with spinner, 100 plastic coins, play bills, markers and die. For 2–4 players. Game board measures 12"L x 17"H. Grades 2+. Amazon.com 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. --Lauren Bernard

This game is excellent for learning to make change. My 1st grader (7) was super into it. It’s making learning fun for him!!

I help my grandkids with their homework and it's been a while since I had to help anyone learn money. I found this game on Amazon. It came quickly, is very easy to set up and learn and a great value. It makes learning how money works easier to learn in such a fun way, I highly recommend it!!!

My 1st grader was still struggling with ease of differentiating coins, which caused anxiety & nerves. We bought this game to play and after the 1st play, she LOVED it. We played 4 more rounds that night. The next week she & I played every morning when she woke up & by the 3rd day she was CONFIDENT enough to open it up & lead a game with her twin sister (who was already confident in this skill). The next weekend her grandparents came over & the first thing she did was pull out her game, explain the rules, and dominated 2 rounds. This game is awesome!! It's short enough to finish a game of 2 people in about 15 min, so you can easily add it in before breakfast or before bed. It's very straightforward, so I didn't have to go YouTube the directions, lol. It's fun & my kiddo lost her timidness after the first round. The MOST important thing, if gave my baby her confidence back when she was struggling. Just get it, you'll be happy that you did!!

Great game!
