Life Issue: My children need to learn the role of money and the importance of giving to God with a thankful heart.

Spiritual Building Block: Thankfulness

Learning Styles

Sight: Help your children glue individual coins on squares of cardboard. If you wish to include a dollar bill, seal it in a plastic sandwich bag. Hold up each money sample and ask your children to name the coin/bill and tell how much it is worth.

Sound: Read Let's Count daily until your children can fill in the blanks when you pause in your reading.

Touch: Give your children a handful of coins to sort. Let them select some of the coins to put in the offering at church or hand-deliver to a local ministry or charity.
