I was just emailed a recommendation request by one of my valued members. Her child is only 5 years old and she was looking to get a fun game to teach her child about money but most of the games seem to be for the older kiddos.\u00a0However there are a few that are great for the younger ones too.<\/p>\n

I know there are many parents who are feeling the same way, they’d like to have some fun money games for their kiddos but for younger ones. So I decided to put a list together of the ones that I have used for my own two wonderful kiddos, Xanthe and Quinn, when they were younger.<\/p>\n

I played Monopoly Junior and Cashflow for Kids with my kiddos when they were that young and they loved them.<\/p>\n

I took a quick look for you on Amazon and here are some that I found:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cashflow For Kids<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"
\nCashflow for Kids Board Game<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 this one also comes with the book \u201cRich Dad\u2019s Guide to Raising Your Child\u2019s Financial I.Q.\u201d from Robert Kiyosaki. On the site they say it\u2019s for kids 6+ but I found it\u2019s fine for 5 year olds too if you\u2019re playing with them. I love it because it uses shapes for money, and stand up pieces for the assets and liabilities, etc. really makes it fun. It\u2019s not a cheap one, but definitely worth the investment for sure!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cashflow for Kids - At Home<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"
\nCashflow for Kids at Home Computer Game<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the site says for ages 8+ but there are three levels inside the game, and one is for the younger kiddos that uses building a garden and feeding rabbits carrots instead of money as its theme to teach the\u00a0 money lessons on a lower level and the great thing is as your child gets older then he or she can do the higher level games that use the money part of the game. My kiddos really loved this one, they have to try to avoid getting \u2018skunked\u2019 and thought that was so much fun! ;o)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Monopoly Junior<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"
\nMonopoly Junior<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 This is a great one to get started with, my favourite is the lemonade stand version, my kiddos loved the rollercoaster version. There are many different versions but they all play the same way. Your child buys lemonade stands and makes money when someone lands on their space. It\u2019s a very simplistic version of the adult game and is great for littlies around 5 years old. The money only goes up to $5 and so makes learning money adding and subtracting really easy too at this young age.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Monopoly Junior - Race Track<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"
\nMonopoly Race Track<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 This is a fun take on the kids version of monopoly with moving pieces on a track, great for little boys especially. We have a train one like this Cars one and Quinn loved moving the train around the board. This one is meant for ages 5+.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Monopoly Junior Computer Game<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"
\nMonopoly Junior Computer Game<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 A computer version of the game that looks really fun. I haven\u2019t tried this one yet, really tempted to get it though! ;o)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope this helps. Thanks for asking, I\u2019ll make sure when I update my site to put up links to different games for different ages on my site.<\/p>\n

Cheers…Amanda…Excited Life Enthusiast. ;o)<\/p>\n
