Who is the world\u2019s most famous investor?<\/p>\n

Give up?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Warren Buffett. He doesn\u2019t buy stocks to sell, he buys companies to keep. And now he\u2019s going to help your kids learn to do the same.<\/p>\n

Warren created this wonderful online money game \u201cSecret Millionaires Club<\/a>\u201d (SMC) for kids.<\/p>\n

Buffett Bucks are the rewards you earn. You earn them by participating on the site and investing in companies on the Buffett Bucks Stock Market (there\u2019s a ticker tape running across your screen). I got a kick out of that! ;o)<\/p>\n

Meet Warren, folksy, unpretentious, down-home kind of guy who\u2019s a maverick in the high-flying world of the stock market and meet Elena, an eternal optimist with an upbeat personality who takes a positive approach to life and whose thinking is smart and concise.<\/p>\n

Meet Jones, a funny, loud, daredevil of the group, and a sports fanatic, who\u2019s a risk-taker and his impulsiveness often gets him into trouble and Radley, an intellectual, a \u201ctechie\u201d supreme who is conservative in nature and balances his emotions with a practical and well thought out approach to life.<\/p>\n

You get to choose a character when you play some of the fun games like \u201cCompounding Connections\u201d, see if you can pay off all your credit card debt before time runs out, \u201cFinancial Flip\u201d, it\u2019s just like Match Game only with time limits, and \u201cEarnings Expedition\u201d, study the pictures and see if you can spot all the differences\u2014there\u2019s a time limit and this isn\u2019t as easy as it sounds!<\/p>\n

There are other games too! \u201cLemonade Stand\u201d lets you make the drink your customer is thinking about and \u201cFill in the Face\u201d allows you to match the right face to the right
\ndollar bill. Oh, there\u2019s \u201cCatch the Money\u201d with a sweet little pig that you move with your mouse to catch the falling money. Don\u2019t catch anything else! That\u2019s deducted from your total.<\/p>\n

By far, though, my favorite game is \u201cClubhouse Trivia.\u201d Test your SMC trivia with episode questions. You listen to an episode, answer the questions, earn points and learn lots of awesome stuff! These episodes are great! ;o)<\/p>\n

Episodes like:
\n\u201cCancel My Reputation\u201d (build a good reputation)
\n\u201cThe Real Skinny\u201d (don\u2019t prejudge)
\n\u201cMental for Rental\u201d (think of alternatives)
\n\u201cThe Domino Effect\u201d (knock em\u2019 down)
\n\u201cToo Good\u201d (to be true)
\n\u201cBe Successful\u201d (present yourself well)
\n\u201cDon\u2019t Say No\u201d (be open-minded)
\n\u201cExperienced?\u201d (get a mentor)
\n\u201cAll Fall Up\u201d (try new things)
\n\u201cTough Cookies\u201d (never cut corners)
\nAnd Many more.<\/p>\n

These episodes are packed with awesome money info!<\/p>\n

You can \u201cAsk Warren\u201d questions and he\u2019ll give you advice. There\u2019s \u201cWarren\u2019s Words,\u201d \u201cInvesting Basics,\u201d \u201cBiz Smart Kids,\u201d \u201cBusiness Basics,\u201d \u201cCompany Profiles\u201d and \u201cBuffett
\nBucks Updates.\u201d<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s even more FREE stuff!<\/p>\n

I kid you not! This is one terrific place for your kids to play and learn!<\/p>\n
