Learning about Australian coins has never been more fun! Introducing A Trip to the Beach, a free printable board game designed to help year 1 and year 2 students practice their money skills while having a great time.

About the Game
A Trip to the Beach is an engaging and interactive board game that teaches students about Australian coins. The game requires counters, dice, and play Australian coins, but if these aren't available, teachers can use 

whiteboards or scrap paper for students to keep track of their money.

How to Play

  • Setup: Each student starts with $3. Players place their counters on the "Start" box on the game board.

  • Roll the Dice: Students take turns rolling the dice and moving their counters the corresponding number of spaces.

  • Collect Coins: When a player lands on a box with coins, they collect the indicated amount and add it to their total money.

  • Buy Beach Items: If a player lands on a "Buy" box with a picture of a beach item (such as suncream, flippers, or an ice cream), they need to deduct the given amount from their money.

  • Winning the Game: The game continues until players reach the "Finish" box. The player with the most money at the end of the game is the winner.

 

Benefits of Playing the Game

  • Hands-On Learning: Students get to handle play money, which reinforces their understanding of Australian coins and their values.

  • Math Skills: The game involves addition and subtraction as students collect and spend their money.

  • Interactive and Fun: The board game format makes learning engaging and enjoyable for students.

  • Real-World Application: By simulating a real-life scenario of spending and saving money, students develop practical skills.
