#138. Coin Poems

I use the following poems to help kindergarten children learn to identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Print poems on to large chart paper, add illustrations and read chorally.

Penny, penny,
Easily spent
Copper brown
and worth one cent.

Nickel, nickel,
Thick and fat,
You're worth five cents.
I know that.

Dime, dime,
Little and thin,
I remember,
You're worth ten.

Quarter, quarter
Big and bold,
You're worth twenty-five
I am told!
