Brownie Elf’s Making Change GameDirections

1. Print the customer cards and elf money. (If you want to save ink, print them in black-and-white and color them yourself. Or, print one page at a time. You can also use real money instead of elf money.)

2. Cut out the customer cards and elf money.

3. Ask your parents for the following: • Coins (four quarters, eight dimes, four nickels) • a die

Here’s how to play:

1. Each person rolls the die one time. The person who rolled the highest number goes first.

2. Then, this player will choose a customer card, read it out loud, and pretend to be the cashier by using the elf money and coins to make change for that customer.

3. Once the first player has made the correct amount of change, the next players should take a turn by repeating steps 2-3.

4. Continue taking turns until you finish all the cards—or until you decide you’re super- duper change makers!
