Middle School (and older)
|
|
Middle Schoolers (and older) learn through playing an experiential 5-day financial education game (The Money Game®) where the room is the “board”, and the students are the “tokens”!
|
The main objective of The Money Game® is to provide a stimulating, fun-filled,learning environment where kids can feel safe exploring and learning the various principles, information and skills needed to create a financially successful and responsible life.
|
Students learn important concepts such as payroll taxes, insurance, credit/credit scores, compound interest, earning money, paying expenses, investing, passive income, and saving for the future. They individually "win" the game when their passive income exceeds their chosen lifestyle (expenses) so they are financially free and can "retire". After they "win", they continue to build their wealth until the game ends for the class.
Our goal is to create a generation of adults who are
responsible, resourceful and self-reliant.
responsible, resourceful and self-reliant.
|
By providing a foundation of
financial information and experience, we are encouraging the next generation to think differently about money and investing than previous generations. |
|
|
Through its unique presentation of financial principles,
The Money Game® promotes an individual’s ability to make money through his/her own genius and creativity, whether in a job or entrepreneurial endeavor. |
|
The Money Game® promotes financial literacy
as an essential life skill and aims to empower individuals to become financially free and to recognize the value in having the means (extra time, energy and money) to help others. |
|
The Money Game®is not a board game, it is experiential...
the room is the board and YOU are the game token!
