Spin A Coin
Directions Materials Math Tub Pictures Internet Resources and Downloads
Students spin the spinner, identify the coin, say its name, then color/cover one of the coins they spun on the coin coloring sheet.   Instead of having to copy - - you could laminate and have students cover coins with some sort of manipulative.  I prefer to have them cover the coins rather than have to spend time and resources on copying.

Connect 4 COINS
Directions Materials Math Tub Pictures Internet Resources and Downloads
Played just like the "real" version of the game Connect 4.  Students partner up, select a chip (distinguishable from their partner's chip), and play begins when one player selects a "cell" from the bottom row.  The player must read the cell's contents correctly before placing their chip/counter (or coloring the cell).  Players should try to block their opponent.  Play ends when a player "connects" four cells in a row (diagonally, horizontally, vertically).
