Coin Songs

On March 19 we learned four songs about coins (source: The Mailbox Magazine).  You can view the videos of us singing and read the lyrics with your child.  Enjoy!

Your child can also review coin values through the Everyday Math online games and learn about the history of each coin with the links listed below.

Penny  sung to the tune of BINGO

There is a coin that's worth one cent
and penny is it's name oh,
p-e-n-n-y, p-e-n-n-y, p-e-n-n-y,
and penny is it's name oh.

There is a coin that's brown and round

and penny is it's name oh,

p-e-n-n-y, p-e-n-n-y, p-e-n-n-y,

and penny is it's name oh.

There is a coin with President Lincoln

and penny is it's name oh,

p-e-n-n-y, p-e-n-n-y, p-e-n-n-y,

and penny is it's name oh.

Nickel sung to the tune of I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a little nickel,

can't you see,

I have President Jefferson on me.

When you go to spend me

don't forget

that I am worth

exactly five cents.

Quarter sung to the tune of Clementine
  

Found a quarter, found a quarter,
found a quarter just now.

Just now I found a quarter,
found a quarter just now.

It is bigger, it is bigger,
it is bigger than the rest.

It is round and it is silver,
and it's worth twenty-five cents.
