The sun is shining, let’s get outside straight away! Let’s go on a Minibeast Hunt.
I have an ant hotel in Animal Crossing. Have you played Animal Crossing?
Time for some maths. Today we are looking at money. Sorting coins is a great money activity to to keep your kids entertained! It’s so simple and an easy early learning activity.
There are two ways to do this: no-prep and low-prep. Take your pick.
The no-prep way: Dump out all your change on the table and have kids sort it.
The low-prep way: On a large piece of paper draw circles and label them with coin values and names. Kids sort coins accordingly. (See photo above)
There are even various ways to sort coins!
- By coin value. Pennies, 5p, 10p etc.
- By coin size. Line them up according to size.
- By colour. Pennies in one pile, everything else in another.
- By picture. Show your child the way not all coins have the same picture on the front.
- By country. If you have foreign coins, add some into the mix!
- By the date. A really interesting way to sort coins!
Depending on how hands-on you want to be you can turn the coin sorting activity into a discussion about coin values. For example, show them how 5 pennies make a 5p. Ten pennies make a 10p. Two 5ps make a 10p and so on.
Reading Time!
