Kids Helping Kids: One Penny at a Time
This week only, empty out your piggy banks to benefit the
Sage Burress and Becca Kniskern foundations.
Penny War Rules:
The object of the game is for each grade level to collect
as many pennies as possible during the "war" while
simultaneously "sabotaging" the other grade levels. Of
course, the ultimate object of the game is to give the
students an opportunity to raise money to support our 2
cancer warriors, Sage and Becca.
Students bring pennies to school and put their pennies
in the container that belongs to their grade level. Their
team receives one point for every penny in the container.
Students may sabotage the other teams by putting
"silver" coins (nickels, dimes, and quarters) into the
containers of the other teams. Each silver coin subtracts
points from that container by the value of the coin. A
nickel subtracts 5 points from the total, a dime reduces it
by 10, and a quarter by 25. Dollar bills can also be used
to bring down a total by 100.
The pennies and silver coins are counted separately.
The total monetary amount of the silver coins is deducted
from the total number of pennies. The grade level that
has the greatest penny count at the end will be the
winner. The teachers of this winning grade level will
compete in a Wii Wipeout Competition on Thursday May
31st.
Fun Ways For Kids To Make Money (or rolls of pennies):
Help Grandma plant flowers
Create art and charge admission to see an art show
Make their bed
Help wash the car
Read to a sibling
Walk a trusted neighbor's dog
Make jewelery and sell it to friends and family
Come up with a word of the day and whoever says it has
to pay a fee
Sell unwanted items, such as toys and clothes, to a
resale shop
Paint Mom's nails, etc.
