One student from the team will come to the front of the room, the teacher will show them a picture of a coin. The student will tell it's name and what it's worth is. If they get it correct they will get a chance to toss a bean bag into a bucket. It they make it they get as many points as the coin they identified was worth. Such as 50c = 50 points, 5c = 5 points, etc. It they miss the bucket, get the name of the coin wrong, or the coin's worth wrong, they do not get any points and must go back to thier group. Each group should get the chance to idenitify each coin at least one time. |
