The Money Rap

Teaching is so much easier if  you get kids singing and moving.  My students always loved this little Money Rap. It’s just the ticket for teaching coin denomination. Use a rap cadence and have fun with it.  Follow up by using actual coins while singing the rap.

The Money Rap
Well, I know a song, it’s really kind of funny,
It’s all about coins and learning to count money.

Chorus: Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters

Now a penny means one (hold out 1 finger)
And a nickel means five (hold out 5 fingers)
Dimes are worth ten (hold out 10 fingers
Quarters twenty five (flash 10 twice and then 5)
Repeat chorus

Five pennies in a nickel (1 hand fingers stretched)
Two nickels in a dime (hold out 2 fingers)
Five nickels in a quarter (1 hand fingers stretched)
You’ll know it every time.(downward motion both hands)
Repeat chorus

Five pennies make a nickel, Two nickels make a dime
Two dimes and a nickel, make a quarter every time.
Repeat chorus

Four quarters make a dollar and that is quite a lot,
And a dollar in my pocket is exactly what I’ve got.
Repeat chorus
