I recently purchased this because my 6 year old had no concept of money. He did not know how to count money at all although we would let him pay for his own items at the store. Whenever we would let him pay for his own items at the store, he would simply throw a handful of money at the cashier and hope that it was enough. Well, after the first time playing this game, he was able to count using dimes, nickels, and pennies. He can not count with the quarters yet but I figure that it is just a matter of time.

The thing that I really enjoyed about the game is that he wanted to play again and again and did not realize that he was actually learning. He loved making money. At the end of the game, I ask him to convert as much of his change that he can into dollars. This helps him to realize that the coins translate into dollars.

I love the coin pieces as well. The plastic pieces are about as close as you can come to the real thing. My son was able to identify the real coins (which he really struggled with before) after playing the game and working with the plastic coins.

I highly recommend this game as a learning tool for youngsters who struggle with the concept of coins.

My 6 year old son loves everything to do with money. So when I saw this game I had to get it for him. He loves it. We play it every night and he is learning how to count money and make change. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves to play games

Money Bags is a fast, simple way to learn how to count change. It also reinforces how kids can earn money by doing chores. The spinner works great, the instructions are easy, and the game can be played in about 10-15 minutes.

I chose to replace the fake coins with real change, for my children it really made the difference.

Unfortunately, my kids will not have the same opportunity to walk to the 5 and dime and buy penny candy. And at the store, I pay for everything with a debit card, so money is not something they really get a hold of very often.

At the end of the game, the person with the most money wins. So they count the change for chores, spin the spinner to determine what coins they cannot use, (like nickels and quarters), and total up their change to see who the winner is. Great game, wish I had bought it a couple years ago.

Many educational games aren't nearly as fun as traditional board games. Not this one. This plays as well as any traditional board game. It's easy to follow (even my five-year-old played). It also plays quickly, which is great for the young players with shorter attention spans. I plan on purchasing more of this brand.

I use this game in the classroom as a math support teacher and at home with my kids. All of the kids love it and it moves at a good pace. I appreciate how the game doesn't just let the kids always decide what combination of coins they'll use to represent a certain value. When they spin the spinner, it will sometimes land on no dimes or no nickels, and so on. So they need to figure out how to make a certain amount without those coins.

We got this game when my daughter was in first grade. She was having some trouble with her homework because the worksheets made it difficult for her to tell the difference between some of the coins. She was getting frustrated and kept saying, "I don't get it."

This game helped her get more comfortable with money, the value of money, and counting money.

Money Bags is one of the best games that I have played besides Crainium Cadoo! You get to count up money and it is alot of fun!! I greatly reccomend this game as a really good game for ages 7-10.

I *HEART* THIS GAME! BUY IT!!!
