Using letter stickers and index cards, have the children buy letters to create their names. Give each child a plastic sandwich bag with several pennies in it. Each letter will cost one penny. Have the children tell you which letters they will need and exchange one penny for each letter sticker. At the bottom of the index card, indicate how many pennies the child's name cost. As an extension activity, chart the number of pennies each child's name costs. Have the children decide which classmate's name was the most expensive and which name cost the least. This can be done in small group.
