Learning Resources Money Bags A Coin Value Game
Learning valuable money skills is "in the bag" as you collect, count and exchange money all the way to the finish line. This educational game includes a 17" x 12" game board with spinner, 100 plastic coins, play bills, markers and a die. For 2-4 players.
What a fun way to learn about combining coins! The object of this colorful and compact board game is to earn money while winding along a cartoon path. Money is earned by landing on a square labeled with a practical chore, such as setting the table (31 cents), or an entrepreneurial endeavor, such as a lemonade stand (15 cents). In order to collect money, the spinner is used to determine which coins can or cannot be taken from the bank. If the spinner lands on "no nickels" then you collect your change with any coins except for nickels. There's an additional incentive to use critical thinking and coin combining skills. Extra money can be earned if you land on a "Bank Exchange" space and exchange your coins (for example, two nickels for a dime). As you may have suspected, the player with the most money at the end wins. --Lauren Bernard

Learning Resources Money Bags A Coin Value Game Reviews
This was for my six year old God-son who really enjoys playing it with his Dad.
I bought this game for my son, Zachary (7), when he was in kindergarten because he was having trouble telling the difference between nickels and quarters. But the biggest plus is that they are counting coins and quickly learn how to make change. Whomever has the most money at the end of the game wins (and it usually isn't me. It always amazes me how many adults can't make change. ha ha ha). My children LOVE when they land on the Banking space and are given the option of trading their coins in (ie. Zachary, his sister Kaitlyn (8) and I still play it. it's important to me as a parent that my children can.
It's a terrific and fun way to learn about money. One thing that I love about the game is that the rules are simple enough for the children to play together. 2 dimes and a nickel for a quarter). I'm actually here on Amazon today to buy another copy of the game for my niece and nephew.
Great game. So with the coins left in thier hand they figure out how to count 52 cents. There is a little more to it than what I have explained and it even gets a little more fun and creative. They love it. I play this with my 6yr old and my 4yr old.
Example: get to 52 cents with out using quarters. There is no way for them to just do the same thing they did last time in order to win. So it really requires a little thinking and the children are always amused by the different ways they can come up with an amount of money. Once they move to the correct spot and have a certain amount of money they have to give or recieve, the spinners tells them which coins they can use to get to the specified amount. It is awesome how it teaches counting money, it is always a different game.
Overall it is a good product to play once in a while to help your children with counting money but not a game that would just be fun to play. Bought this for my seven year old for christmas and we have played it several times. Downfall is that it really doesn't have a strategy or an excitement factor to it. Great game to help kids learn value of money and how to count money.
Overall it is a fun educational game that my kids keep asking me to play with them. The positions on the board include things like "25C tooth fairy" and "46C dusting." Before the player collects money, they spin the spinner and it determines if they cannot use a particular coin or if they put their money in a circle on the board. There are some special positions along the board like "Bank Exchange" (ex: the player can exchange pennies in for nickels) and "$" (the player gets to collect the money on the board). I purchased the Money Bags game for my kids (ages 9, 7 & 7). A player rolls the die and moves their playing piece ahead on the board. They are having fun playing it and are learning along the way.
