We've been learning a bit about coins and their value lately, so I thought it would be fun to have a lemonade stand. Lola's been asking for one for soooo long. There's actually more involved in having one than I anticipated, so today we staged a practice round.
We made the lemonade, the cookies and the lovely sign, but we just invited our friends and didn't actually collect money. Our original intent for the practice round was to have a bowl of spare change that the children could take coins, learn how to count them out and "pay" for their purchases...but that didn't happen. We were so involved with the making of the products and the presentation that we didn't actually get around to the financial aspect of it!! Oh well! We've done so many workbook exercises and games lately that I feel like the concept was well understood all the same...and soon we'll do it again for real.
