5 Money activities for 2nd grade

Counting money is an essential skill for 2nd grade students to learn. In this post, I will share 5 money activities for 2nd grade students-all using the super fun Boom Cards!

Boom Cards are super engaging, digital task cards that you can assign to your students. They are self-checking, which makes grading a breeze! In the post below, I want to share five activities to teach Money in 2nd grade using  Boom Cards.

1. Start with Identifying Coins

To begin a unit on money and coins, students must first master identifying coins and learning coin values. This deck of Boom Cards is perfect for just that! Students are given both the fronts and backs of coins and must match them with their names and the amount that they are worth. This activity pairs perfectly with the best selling resource Identifying Coins Coloring Sheets. You can check out that resource by clicking HERE.

2. Count Money using Multiple Choice

With this deck of Boom Cards, students are given a variety of coin amounts to count and determine their total. Multiple choice answers are given for students to choose from. What I love about this set of Boom Cards is that if a student chooses the incorrect answer, they get immediate feedback and are able to try again. This activity works great for students who are just beginning to master counting a variety of coins.
