coin rhymes By meg

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.
