Money Matters

Practice Money Handling

Girls will practice money handling skills with this interactive change counting activity.

Roll the financial literacy dice to build money handling skills. Money management is a key skill girls will learn and use throughout the cookie sale. Engage girls in this change counting activity to build their skills and confidence in making change.

Supplies

Dice templates (Cookie Die and Money Die)

Play money

Calculator (make it fun and use a giant calculator!)

Change chart

Toy cash register or change box

Cookie boxes and/or mock cookie booth (optional)

Preparation:

Print out dice templates on cardstock. Cut out and fold into dice shape, using tape or glue.

Set-up table or mock cookie booth with cookie boxes, play money, change chart, calculator and cash box.

Fill in the change chart with the correct information, according to your council’s cookie price.

Instructions:

Invite girls to roll both dice. Using the information on the dice, guide her in making change for the proposed purchase. Example: The dice shown above displays that she has sold 1 box of Samoas, and the customer paid with a $10 bill. If their council package price is $4.00 per box, then the girl should count out $6 in change.

Guide them in referencing the change chart and the calculator as needed.
