Counting Coins For Kids

One penny is worth one cent
One nickel's worth five of them
One dime has a value of ten
One quarter's worth twenty-five cents
Five pennies make a nickel
In cents it's worth five
Two nickels make ten cents
That means they're worth a dime
A quarter's twenty-five pennies
But let's make it shorter
Two dimes and a nickel also equal a quarter
I bought one delicious dill pickle
For two dimes, a quarter, and a nickel
To find out how much I spent
I counted them up cent by cent
I started with a quarter
It was worth twenty-five cents
Each dime was worth ten
So I added both of them
Got thirty-five, forty-five
And then there was a nickel
I added five and paid fifty cents for the pickle
One penny is worth one cent
One nickel's worth five of them
One dime has a value of ten
One quarter's worth twenty-five cents
I bought an ice cream in the summertime
With four pennies, three quarters, and a dime
The ice cream lady looked in silence
And then she counted up my cents
She counted three quarters
Twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five
Then she added the dime
The ten cents made eighty-five
And the four pennies left made it eighty-nine
So it was eighty-nine cents for the ice cream
I ate until my shirt popped at the seams
