Donut Shop - Money

How the Game Works

1. Setup: Print out the game materials. Each student or group of students will need the game board, donut pieces, and a set of play money. If play money is not available, teachers can use whiteboards or scrap paper for students to keep track of their money.

2. Starting the Game: Students start with a set amount of money, which can be decided by the teacher (for example, $5).

3. Playing the Game:

   • Players take turns picking donut pieces from the game board.

   • Each donut piece will have a price tag attached to it.

   • Students must add the price of each donut to their total amount of money.

   • If a player lands on a special “bonus” spot, they can earn additional money.

4. Winning the Game: The game continues until all donut pieces have been picked. The student with the highest total amount of money at the end wins the game.
