Glue pictures of coins and bills on 3 x 5 (or smaller) cards*. Place the cards into a large hat or box. Have students choose a card from the hat. If the student chooses a card that has a picture of a quarter, for example, then they will hop to the quarter on the floor mat and say, โ€œI drew a quarter. A quarter is 25 cents.โ€
