Players will have fun playing bingo while learning the value of money.
There are two levels of play: level one focuses on coins and bills up to a
$1.00 value; level two focuses on coins and bills up to a $40 value.
Contents:
• 4 double-sided bingo cards • Double-sided spinner • 36 Game markers
Object of the Game
Be the first player to cover three spaces in a row, a column, or diagonally
with the game markers.
Playing the Game
Each player selects a bingo card and uses the coin side of the card for level
one or the dollar bill side for level two. Players may fill their free space with
a game marker. Designate one person to be the spinner. The spinner should
use the full color side of the spinner for level one and the green side for
level two. The spinner begins by spinning and reading the value that was
spun, for example, “fifty cents.” Players then look at their game card to see
if they have a money combination that equals fifty cents. If they do, they
cover the space with a game marker. The spinner should record what was
spun to check the winner’s card at the end of the game. The same spinner
spins again and game play continues until one player covers three spaces in
a row, a column, or diagonally. The winner’s game card should be checked
with what was called to make sure the correct values were covered.
Variation
For a longer game, the game play remains the same, but a player must cover
their entire game board in order to win.
Additional Bingo Game Activity
Label small items with the money values listed on the back of the guide,
choosing either the level one or level two values. Place the labeled items in a
paper bag. Then allow one player to pick an item from the bag and have
him read the value labeled on the item. When the value is read, each player
should look at their game card to see if they have a combination of money
that equals the value read. If they do, they cover the space with a game
marker. Keep the item out of the bag and have a different player pick out a
new item. Game play continues with players taking turns picking out items
from the bag until one player covers three spaces in a row, a column, or
diagonally. The winner’s game card should be checked with the items out of
the bag to make sure the correct coin and dollar values were covered. Return
the items to the bag to play again, or allow the players to keep the items.
