Look at you two, SMARTIE pants!

You SCORED high on tests and reached the PAYDAY –

Summer To-do Check List

Create with the kids, and let them check off the activities. For older kids, have them rate the activities using your chosen criteria, or even make a report. You could also add some of those once a year chores, and they can help too! via

Race to a Quarter Game

IMG_1529

Excellent for teaching money skills…

“This game is VERY simple but powerful for the kids because it helps them to make those connections that 5 pennies = 1 nickel, 2 nickels = 1 dime, etc… Each student has a game board and there is one student in each group that I select to be the banker. Students roll dice and collect coins from the banker and keep making trades.” Until someone reaches a quarter!
FYI: The coin holder (veggie or chip/dip holder) in the pic comes from a dollar store- Genius!
