During Learning Center time, we worked in a 'Pretend McDonald's' center so we could learn how to count money. Each child had to count out enough money to 'buy' a hamburger, (which was actually 2 vanilla wafers for the buns, a chocolate covered cookie for the hamburger, and red and yellow icing for the ketchup and mustard.) They also had to 'buy' french fries (which were canned french fries), and a cup for a drink. After 'buying' each item, they had to count all the money all together and make sure the amount they came up with matched the amount that was covered on the menu. What a fun and yummy way to learn how to count money!
