Word Match

Write the months of the year on cards/paper. Have students pick a card and jump down the mat to find the match for their word. (For younger students just practice one word a day until they get used to finding and reading that word before adding more.)

The Word Hop

Have the student begin on START HERE. As the student jumps down the mat, have them recite the months of the year. Be sure that your student says the words correctly. Tell your student a word if they don’t know the word. Continue jumping and saying the months until the end of the mat. Repeat the activity until the student is comfortable with saying all of the months.
(Have students try hopscotching down the mat for an added challenge.)

Make the Amount

Give a student an amount, such as 23 cents. Have them jump on the coins on the mat that they would use to make 23 cents. For example, the student may jump on two dimes (while counting by 10’s up to 20) then jump three times on the penny (while adding 1,2,3 to 20) to make 23 cents. Challenge them to make the amount with as few coins as possible, or not using any quarters for larger amounts, etc.

The Mad Hatter

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, “I drew a quarter. A quarter is 25 cents.”

*You can also use any money flashcards you might already own.

Bean Bag Toss

Have one student throw a bean bag on one of the words or pictures, penny, nickel, etc. For example, if the bean bag lands on the dime, all of the class does a physical activity (such as running in place or jumping jacks) while saying, “A dime is equal to ten cents.” Then, they will all count to 10. Give all students a turn to throw the bean bag and choose the physical activity.

Option: You can write down different activities on note cards beforehand and draw a card to choose the activity the class will do for each toss.

Money Multiplication

This activity helps students practice multiplication.

Have students begin on START HERE and follow this pattern:
Hop on the word ‘penny’ and say, “a penny is 1 cent. 1 x100=100.”
Hop on the word ‘nickel’ and say, “a nickel is 5 cents. 5 x 20=100.”
Hop on the word ‘dime’ and say, “a dime is 10 cents. 10 x 10=100.”
Hop on the word ‘quarter’ and say, “a quarter is 25 cents. 4 x 25 =100.”
Hop on the word ‘half-dollar’ and say “a half-dollar is 50 cents. 2 x 50 =100.”

*Students have to know how many pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half-dollars make one dollar to do this activity.
