Description

The Bank Game reinforces the concept of long multiplication and general number recognition in the thousand, hundreds, tens and units.  Children assume different roles as they perform the problems posed by the game exercises.

Roles:

• controller,
• banker,
• bookkeeper,
• cashier,
• clerk,
• customer.

The bank game offers different roles allowing children to experience the different responsibility each person undertakes.  Role-playing provides invaluable skills for the children.  They learn how a business operates, and to understand the interpersonal interactions of all players.
