Are the kids home today? Here are some activities...
1.
What to do: Gather a dollar bill, four quarters, and a glass bottle with an opening smaller than the coins. Set them up as shown, making sure that the dollar bill is parallel to your table surface (you may need to lightly crease the bill). Now, using just one finger, try to slip out the dollar without toppling the coins. If they fall, you'll have to change your tactics!
Hold your index finger as shown.
Quickly strike the bill near the quarters as if doing a karate chop.
The coins will stay put, but the bill will slide out from beneath them.
2.
--
Lay a crisp one- or five-dollar bill faceup. Fold the left and right sides into the middle, framing the face.
Fold the top edge down and the bottom edge up to complete the frame.
Flip the bill. Fold back the ends to create flaps for propping the portrait.
Money Hunt -
This is easy but fun.
Take several coins out in the yard and scatter them. Know how much you scattered - right.
Have your kids go on a money hunt or president hunt.
