Next Dollar Shopping Game
Next Dollar Shopping, by Pat Crissey, provides students with a
unique way to practice the skill of exchanging money. Students who
have difficulty transitioning between coin counting and making
change benefit from the next dollar strategy introduced in this
game. The fully illustrated game board provides students with
opportunities to identify the next dollar amount needed to purchase
items in "real-world" situations.
Game Play
Before playing, students should have a basic understanding of
dollars and cents. A facilitator is needed to hand out money and
determine if amounts paid are correct. Each student begins the game
with 20 dollar bills. To begin play, a student places his or her
playing piece on the "HOME" square, rolls the die, and moves to the
appropriate game-board square. Then, he or she draws a card. The
player reads the money amount on the card and determines the amount
needed to pay for the item by rounding up to the next dollar.
Levels
Each of the five card decks includes cards at three difficulty
levels: Basic, with even dollar amounts (such as $7.00);
Intermediate, with uneven dollar amounts (such as $1.35); and
Advanced, with amounts under a dollar (such as $.52). Prices do not
exceed $10.00. The draw cards feature 60 realistic illustrations of
items that can be purchased at a variety of locations.
Game Board Squares
Students buy items at grocery, clothing, and discount stores as well
as a fast food restaurant, post office, movie theater, and more. If
a student does not have enough money to buy an item, he or she goes
to the ATM square to withdraw $10.00 to pay for the item and
continue playing.
Teacher's Guide
Contains ideas, reproducible worksheets, and assessments for
implementing the next dollar strategy before and after game play.

A colorful Game Board with realistic community locations, a
Teacher's Guide, 60 Draw Cards, 100 Dollar Bills, 6 Playing Pieces,
