Money: Young Kids: Counting Money

http://www.tennessee.gov/tdfi/java/game/game.html

Let Old Abe help your kids with money! Abe 'sells' the kids things like hotdogs or pumpkins, but he won't make change. Kids have to figure out what bills and coins they need to make the exact amount. Great for kids just learning about money. There is an easy game and a hard game. The difference between the easy and the hard is the the hard gets kids to pay with a variety of coins...for example, if it is 96 cents, the coin choices in the easy include 3 quarters and 2 dimes and pennies. In the hard game, there are only 2 quarters, 5 dimes, and nickels and pennies. It's a short game, but kids will find it fun.
