Do you know what money is? It’s something we use to buy things like toys and snacks. Today, we’re going to learn about some special coins that you might find in your pocket!
A penny is a small, brown coin. It is worth 1 cent. If you have one penny, you have 1 cent!
A nickel is a bit bigger than a penny and is silver in color. It is worth 5 cents. If you have one nickel, you have 5 cents!
A dime is a small, silver coin. It is worth 10 cents. Even though it is smaller than a nickel, it is worth more!
A quarter is a bigger silver coin. It is worth 25 cents. If you have one quarter, you have 25 cents!
Now that we know what each coin is worth, we can count them! If you have a penny, a nickel, a dime, and a quarter, you can add them up to see how much money you have.
Let’s add them together: 1 + 5 + 10 + 25 = 41 cents!
Did you know? Coins are made in a special place called a mint. They make sure each coin is just right before it goes into your pocket!
Now you know all about pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Next time you find some coins, try counting them to see how much money you have!
Coin Hunt: Go on a coin hunt around your house with a grown-up. See if you can find a penny, a nickel, a dime, and a quarter. Once you find them, try to remember how much each one is worth. Can you add them up to see how much money you have in total?
Coin Rubbing Art: Take a piece of paper and place it over a coin. Use a crayon to gently rub over the paper where the coin is. Watch as the coin’s design appears on the paper! Try this with different coins and compare their sizes and colors. Which coin is the smallest? Which one is the biggest?
Shopping Game: Pretend you are at a store with a friend or family member. Use real or play coins to “buy” items like toys or snacks. Practice counting out the correct amount of money for each item. How many pennies do you need to make 5 cents? What about 10 cents?
