Story
Uncle Scrooge's money bin has a hole, and he needs to move his money to a new money bin on the other side of town. But this takes a very long time, because Uncle Scrooge has A LOT of money (and he doesn't want to spend too much money on the move itself).
That's why he has decided to ask the children in [name of kindergarten/preschool] for help. He will stand on top of his money bin and throw money down to the children. The children must then ensure that the money is safely transported to the new money bin. Can you help him with this task? Good cooperation is important here!
Description
One person is Uncle Scrooge (preferably an adult at the start). This person stands on a stool with many beanbags representing money. The children stand around.
Uncle Scrooge throws one beanbag at a time to one child. The child receives the "money" and runs or walks with it to a "money bin" – for example, a bucket or box – located approximately 10–12 meters away. When all the beanbags have been thrown and placed in the money bin, the money is safely moved to the new money bin.
Finally, count all the "money" aloud together with the children.
