My youngest son is obsessed with learning how to count money. In his mind, counting money equals earning money.

I don’t have the heart to tell him that’s not true quite yet.

But I am glad that he’s willing to put in the work to learn how to count amounts of money.

So, to help him out, I made up a simple printable money game “Dollars and Cents”!

Printable Money Game for Counting Dollars and Cents

This game includes three sets of eight cards – 24 printable cards in all.

Eight of them include money amounts shown in dollars and cents, eight of them include amounts written in monetary form, and eight include the amounts written in word form.

After printing out the product, glue scrapbook paper to the back and then cut out the cards.

That way, kids won’t be able to read the writing from the other side. Which would kind of take all the fun out of the concentration game.

Choose two sets of cards and lay them face down.
