Created for a group of students who were struggling to grasp concepts around money.
Students are waiters/waitresses in a restaurant and can earn tips as their shift progresses by landing on an appropriate space
The game can be played in two ways.
1. Students can keep a running total of their 'tips' by adding each new tip onto their total using paper or a calculator. This could be made harder by omitting 0s on the tips cards (i.e 2.3 pounds or £2.3) or presenting cash amounts in mixed forms such as £1.05 and 105p or 'one pound and five pence'
2. Students can use play money to collect their tips and must always use the smallest number of coins/notes each time they collect a tip. At the end of each shift, students will need to regroup their tips and salary into the smallest quantity of notes and coins. Coins could be removed for this, i.e start with only 1p, 10p, £1 and £10 etc.
Essentially, land on a penguin and you get some money! Spills and Banana Skins might stop you from taking your go or send you back a few spaces. Odd and even spots mean you have to roll an odd or even number to move. Try not to land on the cactus! If you do you get sent home early with half pay! (You could use different salary amounts to get a bit of practice halving!)
I have used this game as an extension to the school's intervention programme for very low level Secondary School learners, it has proven popular with all aged 11-16
Download includes...MS Publisher Document containing double sided Top Tips cards, a board game (pictured) and instructions on how to play.
