Thinking Money for Kids:Making Mooo-lah
Welcome to the farm! Work together to run a financially successful farm. Take turns rolling the die and moving through a life-size game board. Buy something for the farm, sell crops at the farmers’ market, pay taxes, or face an unexpected event. Starting with $200 in your bank account, can you turn a profit in 12 months?
With free resources from ALA and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, libraries can teach children and their parents, caregivers, and educators about financial topics — like saving, spending, sharing, and budgeting — in a way that is both meaningful and fun.
