The Money Song
Tune: Itsy, Bitsy Spider
1 cent is a penny,
10 cents is a dime,
5 cents is a nickel,
Now you know that I'm...
learning about the money,
and which coin is which.
Don't forget the quarter-
It's worth 25 cents!
*****
Dr. Jean's Money Song
Tune: Shortnin' Bread
Chorus:
I like money to buy things at the store.
Money, money, money, I always want more!
A penny's worth one cent.
A nickel's worth five.
A dime's worth ten cents.
A quarter's twenty-five.
Chorus
Lincoln's on one cent.
Jefferson's on five.
Roosevelt's on ten cents.
Washington's on twenty-five.
Chorus
A building's on one cent.
A building's on five.
A torch is on ten cents.
An eagle's on twenty-five.
Chorus

The Money Rap
Well, I know a song
It's really kind of funny
It's all about coins
And learning to count money.
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)
And quarters twenty five (flash... 10 twice & then 5)
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Five pennies in a nickel
(hold out 1 hand- fingers stretched)
Two nickels in a dime
(hold out 2 fingers)
Five nickels in a quarter
(hold out 1 hand - fingers stretched)
You'll know it every time!
(using both hands do a downward motion)
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Yeah!!!
*****
Coin Combinations
5 pennies make a nickel
2 nickels make a dime
2 dimes and a nickel
Make a quarter every time.
4 quarters make a dollar
and that is quite a lot.
And a dollar in my pocket
is exactly what I've got.

Money Poems
From Mailbox Magazine
See the shiny penny, brown as it can be.
Showing Abraham Lincoln for all of us to see.
He had a bushy beard, and a tall, black hat.
A penny's worth one cent, how about that.
Thomas Jefferson will be found.
On a nickel, shiny, smooth, and round.
His home, Monticello, is on the other side.
A nickel's worth five cents, say it with pride.

Three Little Nickels
A Fingerplay
Three little nickels in a pocketbook new,
(hold up three fingers)
One bought a peppermint, and then there were two,
(bend down one finger)
Two little nickels before the day was done,
One bought an ice cream cone, and then there was one
(bend down another finger)
One little nickel I heard it plainly say,
"I'm going into the piggy bank for a rainy day!"
*****
Three Shiny Quarters
fingerplay adapted from "Three Little Nickels"
Three shiny quarters in a pocketbook new
(Hold up three fingers)
One bought a gumball, then there were two
(Bend down one finger)
Two shiny quarters, before the day was done
One bought a sticker, then there was one.
(Bend down another finger)
One little quarter, I heard it plainly say,
"I'm going in the piggy bank for a rainy day!"
*****
This is a song by Greg and Steve:
One penny, is just a penny
Five pennies, make a nickel
Ten pennies, make a dime
Twenty-five pennies, make a quarter
Fifty pennies, make a half dollar
One hundred pennies, make a dollar
One dollar is what I am saving in my Piggy Bank!

Laminate a big pink pig and put a clear pocket on her belly. Each day of the month we add a large penny (2" square with a penny on it) to the belly. When we get five, we trade them in for a nickel. Then we add more pennies until we get to 10 and trade in the pennies again. After we traded in the pennies, we had 2 nickels, and traded them in for one dime. You can start all over every month so the children can practice the values to 31 cents or keep adding depending on what you are emphasizing.
