money game By Susan

Glad that I started this thread! Thank you all for your responses. Here is an easy game to play.

It is called 'How much is your name worth?'
On the board assign each letter a coin value:
ex.. 25 Aeimquy
10 bfjnrvz
5 cgkosw
1 dhlptx

Students then figure how much there name would be worth. My name Susan is worth 5+25+5+25+10=70cents

Students can use their first, last, and middle names etc.. Extend it by challenging students to find a country or animal worth the most
