1. Gather 10-20 different Indian coins (1₹, 2₹, 5₹, 10₹). 2. Set up a 'carnival booth' on a table with paper and a pencil. 3. Sort the coins by their value into separate piles. 4. Count how many coins are in each pile and write the totals down. 5. Create a simple game: toss a dice and collect coins equal to the dice roll. 6. Share your totals with family — can you add them for a grand total?
