Dollar store games

 I am discovering that you can make lots of great games for super cheap.  In fact, I recently made this coin game for one of my centers by spending one dollar.  It was so easy to make too. I bought a pumpkin ice mold  at the dollar store and cut it into 2 pieces. This way two boys can play at the same time.  Inside each pumpkin I wrote a different coin's name or worth. Then the boys were given coins and had to match the correct coin in the  pumpkin. It is a fun and festive way to encourage them to learn their coins , and it only cost a dollar. So head to the dollar store and get busy!!!
