African Well Fund - Building Hope One Well At A Time

Penny Wars is a game to be competed between schools or grade levels/home rooms. The object is to get as many points as possible during the "war."

The fundraiser is run for any five, consecutive school days.

Each class will need a large, enclosed container with a slit large enough to insert coins and bills, such as a sealed one gallon plastic milk container, or coffee can, etc. Label each container with any appropriate information, such as teacher, grade, class, etc.
The containers should be placed somewhere they can be supervised by an adult at all times.
Students from class put their pennies in their class’ container. One point is received for every penny in the container.
Classes may put other coins and paper currency into the containers of OTHER classes. Each silver coin or bill reduces the number of points from that container by the amount of the coin. (e.g. a nickel reduces the points by five, a dime by ten, a dollar by 100, etc...)!
Containers are emptied and counted daily. The total monetary amount of silver coins and paper currency is deducted from the total number of pennies for the day.
The totals for all classes are posted daily to encourage friendly competition.
A prize can be awarded to the winning class at the end of the fundraiser.
