Fun Ideas For Creating A Money Unit Study

Even if money doesn’t make the world go round, it is an important thing for kids to learn. It is an essential life skill. It can be super confusing, though. I am pretty sure every child would pick three 1$ bills over a $5 bill solely on the fact that the quantity of bills is higher with the 3 $1. That is until they learn and understand quality vs. quantity of the money. A money unit study is the perfect way to explore the value of money at any skill level!

If you are planning a money unit, or using money as a way to practice math, these are some fun ideas. Included are literacy, math, art & crafts, sensory and science. Kids are bound to be interested in money while doing these activities.
