COIN TARGET TOSS K3 – Coin Recognition/Values How to Play: Print the circles on heavy cardstock, cut, and laminate. Place the circles on the floor and make a starting line using tape on the floor, 36 feet away from the circle, depending on the skill level. The circles serve as targets for students to toss coins at. Give students a basket of assorted coins to toss. Students try to toss the coin to the correct target (toss dimes to the 10 Cent circle, etc). After all children have had a turn, count the number of coins that were tossed to each target. On a white board, make a graph to show how many quarters, nickels, pennies and dimes were tossed to each target. For a variation, only count the coins that landed on the target. Advanced students can count the total of the change.
