Counting Coins Interactive Games and Lessons

Pocket Change from Armor Games
My campaign continues to do away with worksheets - in this case, counting money worksheets.  Many free counting money interactive games are online to help kids practice counting coins and bills.  I've described several of them in my Squidoo post, Counting Coins Interactive Games.  There's even a free money counting app for the i-world.  The post also describes several money counting lesson plans that include fun activities for use in your classroom.

So banish those money worksheets from your classroom!  OK, banishing worksheets completely may not completely realistic.  But try a few counting money interactive games in your classroom.  Or post the links to your classroom website for the kids to try at home.

These are just a small sample of what's available to help kids learn money sense.   There's dozens of websites and interactives to teach kids financial literacy.  They're listed on
