Money makes the world go round and it also makes a teacher’s job easy and students very interested!

When you play a game, instead of keeping score with boring marks on the chalkboard, use play money! Download some HERE. Cut and crumple up and put in a big bag. Appoint one student the banker who walks around and allows winning groups/students to reach into the bag and pull out “their score”. After, everyone can scream, “How much did you make?” . 

When the game is finished simply count the money the team hands you to verify who is the winner!

Also, get many more spinners/counters and other things to make games more interesting on EFL Classroom’s practice page under Teacher Tools.

Great Idea. Monopoly money is hard to find in Korea. So I’ve started using it as a form of currency for participation. After getting x amount the kids can “Buy” candy and other treats from me. It’s worked wonders in the classroom.

I have to agree with JasonK. I have started using money in my classroom to elicit proper English and it has really changed the class. By giving them an easy goal, they answer questions more often and work harder to come up with some sort of English. This is a great tool.
