[QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 2624661, member: 56842"]I can choose any topic I want, but I thought that Cents made, well, sense. ;-) I'm not sure I'll have access to a video projector (for PowerPoint), so I may have to print out 8.5"x11" color pictures of each coin. I was thinking about showing them [B]pictures of each[/B] of the "cents" that we have had over the years, starting with the latest (Lincolns), moving back through small cents back to Flying Eagles, hitting the large Cents, and maybe throwing in the Fugio and some patterns if I have time. To give them something "hands-on", I was thinking of having the kids [B]search through [/B]several rolls of cents from the bank . Maybe have them try to [B]draw a Cent from memory[/B]. (I think I might "seed" the rolls with some Wheaties, one for each kid to keep). I can go a little longer than 30 minutes if I need to, but I told them to have some games for the kids in case I talk too fast. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
