Billy Gorilly&#8217;s song &#8220;Counting Money To A Beat&#8221; will help children learn about pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Start your money lesson by having the children sing along to the song. Or sing along to the song as you drive the kids around in the mini-van. The repetition and rhythm of the song helps children remember the names of coins and how the words are pronounced. This makes it a great addition for ESL learners.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0Listen to Counting Money To A Beat<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2120\" style=\"border: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 15px;\" alt=\"billy-gorilly-clapping\" src=\"http:\/\/billygorilly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/billy-gorilly-clapping.png\" width=\"121\" height=\"200\" \/><\/h4>\n<p>[mp3-jplayer tracks=&#8221;Counting Money To A Beat@http:\/\/billygorilly.com\/Media\/counting-money-to-a-beat_sample.mp3<br \/>\n&#8221; captions=&#8221;by Billy Gorilly;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #40be20;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Buy song at <a title=\"Click to buy song on Amazon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rockin-the-Schoolhouse-Vol-1\/dp\/B001VL1O0C\/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_1\">Amazon<\/a> \u2022 <a title=\"Click to buy on CdBaby\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cdbaby.com\/cd\/billygorilly3\">CdBaby<\/a> \u2022 <a title=\"Clcik to buy on iTunes\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/rockin-the-schoolhouse-vol.-1\/id307462911\">iTunes<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Lyrics &#8211; Counting Money To A Beat<\/h2>\n<p>Money!
