My 1st grader was still struggling with ease of differentiating coins, which caused anxiety & nerves. We bought this game to play and after the 1st play, she LOVED it. We played 4 more rounds that night. The next week she & I played every morning when she woke up & by the 3rd day she was CONFIDENT enough to open it up & lead a game with her twin sister (who was already confident in this skill). The next weekend her grandparents came over & the first thing she did was pull out her game, explain the rules, and dominated 2 rounds. This game is awesome!! It's short enough to finish a game of 2 people in about 15 min, so you can easily add it in before breakfast or before bed. It's very straightforward, so I didn't have to go YouTube the directions, lol. It's fun & my kiddo lost her timidness after the first round. The MOST important thing, if gave my baby her confidence back when she was struggling. Just get it, you'll be happy that you did!!

This money game is such a wonderful activity for kids! It's quick and engaging, so you won't feel like you're playing for ages. My daughters absolutely love it, and I'm so glad I found it on sale—it truly feels worth every penny. I'm curious to see if this brand has other games because this one has become a favorite in our home. It's also been fantastic for teaching them how to make change after just a few rounds. Learning should always be this enjoyable!

Wonderful game for introduction to money - perfect for at home or school. Well made, easy to play.

Helps kids learn about money and math while having fun. Some of the pieces are a little flimsy, but overall it’s a fantastic learning tool.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This game is perfect for my second graders learning about coin value. It kept their interest and they found it fun to play as a small group activity.

I bought this game to play with my three kids whom we homeschool. I thought it would be a fun way to practice math and they do love it! They are asking us to play all the time. They also use the money for games they make up and pretending to own stores and use the money to purchase things, and they do their math just the same. Fantastic!Here is the sellers product description from the listing:Product DescriptionValuable money skills are "in the bag" as students collect, count and exchange money all the way to the finish line. Includes game board with spinner, 100 plastic coins, play bills, markers and die. For 2–4 players. Game board measures 12"L x 17"H. Grades 2+.Amazon.comWhat a fun way to learn about combining coins! The object of this colorful and compact board game is to earn money while winding along a cartoon path. Money is earned by landing on a square labeled with a practical chore, such as setting the table (31 cents), or an entrepreneurial endeavor, such as a lemonade stand (15 cents). In order to collect money, the spinner is used to determine which coins can or cannot be taken from the bank. If the spinner lands on "no nickels" then you collect your change with any coins except for nickels. There's an additional incentive to use critical thinking and coin combining skills. Extra money can be earned if you land on a "Bank Exchange" space and exchange your coins (for example, two nickels for a dime). As you may have suspected, the player with the most money at the end wins. --Lauren Bernard

My daughter is young 5 and in Kindergarten and is struggling with money concept and I got this game primarily for her to practice counting without it seeming like homework. I know that it suggests Since we have gotten it she tries to finish up her homework quickly and asks to play this game! She is learning to think of the numbers as quarters being 25, dimes being 10, nickels being 5, and pennies being 1. There is a wheel that you spin that if you land on 5, 10, or 25 you wouldn't be able to use so it forces the child to find alternative ways to build it (otherwise I think she would just build the amount with pennies). When it is my turn I ask her to help me try to count it out so she is actually doing the counting twice to help strengthen her concepts. There is also the trade up spot where whatever money she has earned she has to try to trade it up for large amount and she always wants to try to trade up to the dollar. Money is a hard concept I feel this game will be good to play for a few years until she is really strong at it :) I don't think it hurts to strengthen money counting as that is a real life concept we all need to know. I know that it suggests for children ages Grade 2 and up but I think that it's okay to help the child or let the child see when you try to build it up. I already see her catching on after a few times of playing for making certain numbers. My goal was to just make it fun to learn about Money and this game delivers! The game is also quick so it doesn't feel like it drags on forever or causes them to lose their attention span.

Fun and educational! This game was easy to learn and my twins actually enjoyed it. The last school year has been different due to COVID so their father and I purchased a few educational games to help them along. This one was easy to learn and I’m sure will be played a few times before school starts. It wont stay in my regular game rotation but I’m planning on putting it away with the other games my kids have outgrown for use when whenever we have younger kids around again. The quality is good and I’m sure it’ll hold up to quite a bit or play. It would be cool if the coins were made from a heavier material (like metal Monopoly game pieces) but I’m sure the game wouldn’t have been such a good deal. My only other advice would be to laminate the dollar bills if you’ll play this game since the paper is a little thin. But overall the game is enjoyable and will serve a purpose so win win!
