Teach Your Kids About Coins

A Fun and Easy Way to Teach Your Kids About Coins!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Try singing these fun and cute little songs to your children to help them learn about United States Coins.
Step 2

Copper brown and worth 1 Cent!
Step 3

Nickel - 5 Cents

Nickel, Nickel
Thick and Fat
You're worth 5 Cents
I know that!
Step 4

Dime - 10 Cents

Dime, Dime
Little and Thin
I remember,
You're worth 10!
Step 5

Step 6

Half-Dollar - 50 Cents

Step 7

There are several different ways you can make these little songs your own, maybe adding extra verses, words, etc.

I will do the following "extras" to make learning more fun!

* I will usually sing the Dime song in a high-pitched little voice to help remember, little voice - little coin.
* I will also sing the Quarter and Half-Dollar songs in Big, LOUD Voices! It's very important to show young children a Half-Dollar as many kids have never seen one!
* I will also talk about the Presidents on the coins and important things that they did during their presidency.
* You can also talk about the back of the coins (although several have different backs due to newly circulated coins.) This will help remembering them by just looking at the reverse of the coin.
