Our class had a pretend McDonald's center this week. The children had to count out the exact change in order to buy a hamburger, french fries, and drink. Then we traded the money down to the smallest amount of coins. If they could count it correctly they got to 'buy' the treat. The hamburger was really two vanilla wafers with a chocolate cookie inside. Red and Yellow icing were the catsup and mustard. (Several children said they didn't like mustard. They just liked plain hamburgers.) The french fries were potato sticks. The food was delicious. The center was a fun way to emphasize the importance of learning how to count money.
