Hello, little friends! 🌟 Today we’re going to embark on an exciting journey into the world of money! Who here likes to play shop? 🛒 Maybe you’ve pretended to buy ice cream, toys, or even groceries with your friends. Well, today, we will learn how we can use math to play with money and become super money masters!
Story Time: We will start our lesson with a short story about a little bear named Benny who wants to buy some treats for his friends. Can you help Benny figure out how much money he needs? 📖
Show and Tell: After the story, I will show you some Canadian coins and bills. We'll take a close look at them, learn their names, and how much they are worth. Can you guess which coin is worth the most? 🪙💵
Group Activity: We will split into small groups. Each group will create their own “mini-store” using play money. You will get to decide what items to sell and how much they cost! Let’s put our math skills to work and make some money! 💰
Reflection Time: At the end of our adventure, we will gather round to share what we learned about money. What was your favorite part? What was tricky? 🤔
Before we dive in, let’s all pretend we are super shoppers today. Remember, learning about money is not just about buying things. It’s about making smart choices, saving for special things, and understanding how to share and help others. Are you ready to help Benny on his shopping adventure? Let’s go! 🚀
