#9: Flip a Coin

Take a coin and flip it up into the air. Try and catch it. Without looking at it, flip it over and the back of your hand--then peek at it.

Is it heads or tails?

'Heads' has the picture of the person on it, the other side (usually a plant or animal) is 'tails'.

See how many times you get heads and how many times you get tails.

If you have someone else to play with, ask them to guess if it is heads or tails before you flip it (while you are throwing it in the air and before you show it).


This activity promotes coordination and math skills.
