coin rhymes

My kids had fun with this simple rhyme and game:A penny's worth one cent (stamp foot)
A nickle's worth five (slap thighs)
A dime's worth ten cents (clap hands)
A quarter's twenty-five (snap fingers)
How many cents do I have on this try? (example: Clap, Stamp, Stamp = 12 cents)
(If they have not attempted addition yet, just teach them the rhyme, leaving off the last line) Also, we made a booklet using this poem and coin rubbings: Penny, penny, easily spent,
Copper brown and worth one cent. Nickle, nickle, thick and fat,
You're worth five, I know that. Dime, dime, little and thin,
I remember, you're worth ten. Quarter, quarter, big and bold,
You're worth twenty-five, I am told.
