How Much Is Too Much?

Label equal sections of a spinner with the digits 2-9. Copy onto cards the amounts shown below.

In turn, each partner selects a card and spins the spinner. The spinner tells the number of "items" that must be "purchased" at the price shown on the card. If the total amount falls within the range $5.00-$9.99, award yourself 1 point. The partner with the most points after all of the cards have been selected is the winner.
