Ever watch BoZo's Circus? Take some plastic pails and put about 5 in a row. Might want to put a bit of cotton, cloth or sand at the bottom to protect the coins. Or use some kind of tokens. Have the kids stand behind a line and throw into the pails. Bigger prize for the farthest pails a coin gets in.
When we were kids we used to use the sidewalks for coin games. Most sidewalks have separtion cracks every so many feet. We used to stand behind one, toss a coin to the second crack. Closest one to the crack wins all the others.
For kids that can count good. Ask how many ways they can make change for a dollar. You may have to supply pencils and paper. Examples: 2 half dollars, 4 quarters, 1 half dollar and 5 dimes, etc. A prize to the one with the highest amount. Supposed to be 291 ways.
Have kids try to stand a Nickel on it's side.
