She kept commenting on how much she loved this game, and I think it will really help her be more confident in counting money and remembering which coin is valued for how much etc. It really encourages little minds to figure out the amounts, and it's a GREAT way to learn about money (other than a workbook page). The money is even pretty realistic and detailed.and there is a nice amount of it included. My 6 y.o. Two thumbs up. We both had a great time, and it was fun to watch her little mind work as she tried to figure out the different coin amounts. daughter and I played this game twice tonight.she received it as a Christmas gift. There are cool aspects to this game, with the money bag space, and the bank exchange.
The flimsy cardboard dividers are lousy and don't keep the coins seperated very well. However the one thing I wish they would change is the area where you keep the coins in the "bank". There needs to be a hard plastic type storage area to keep the coins seperated. Well this is a good game for learning about coins. My daughter likes it and we play it often.
Very practical, but it is so much fun for them, they don't realize they are learning while they play. We keep getting requests to play this game. Not something I would choose to play all the time, but I didn't purchase this for myself.I will consider giving this for birthday gifts and as a donation to the school to add to their rainy day games. Great game for early elementary children. I love the educational value. It is wonderful to see children make the connection with exchanging smaller coins for larger coins and then dollar bills.
Yes it is a children's game, but adults end up playing too. It would be more fun if you could buy something with your money, and that could even involve making change which would also make the game more educational.My children do not like it when the spinner lands on the moneybags symbol and they don't get their money for that turn.
Of course they need to be able to lose well, but there are not many turns in the game, so often enough, once you've given up your money for even one turn, you have lost the game. We sometimes just ignore that rule.
I will start with the negative and end on a positive note. One educational addition is that you have to spin a spinner and you may have to determine the coins to take without using dimes or nickles etc.
They don't like to feel like they've already lost within the first couple of turns but have to continue playing.On the positive side, my older children (ages 5 and 7) in general enjoy playing this game and do use and improve money counting skills while playing. On the negative side:In my opinion, this game is too simple to be fun for an adult.
All you do is roll the die and take the amount of money for the space on which you landed.
we have been playing this game for awhile nowand kids love it they do not tire of it yetit is a nice fast pace which is good for kidsyou have to think about how to make the amount sometimes without certain coinsplus you can count out your coins at certain times to turn in for billsthey like that part as wellthe coins are durable nice sized you can use real money once kids are older mine like to do that once in awhile when we find enough change floating around the housethe game has help up for three years so faronly thing i wish the spinner could stay attatched to the board but we do have to remove it after every gamebecause we can not close the board and close the box with spinner on the boardi like that it has good play value and learning value and they really do not realize they are learning math
