Students will get excited to learn about money with this book by Dr. Seuss. Teachers could hand out real money and an object with a price label (up to one dollar) to each student. Students will have the opportunity to buy things from one another and provide the equivalent coins to make a purchase. This activity would be appropriate for students in first grade.

This is a great, fun book to use when talking about money. The book gives a brief history of other cultures and money and there are plenty of rhyming words.
