Enjoy this one and I hope you are looking forward to the next one as much as I am.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.KidsPlayingBusiness.com\" target=\"_blank\">Kids Playing Business<\/a>\u201d is a very interesting online money game.  It\u2019s for younger kids and filled with many activities.  It\u2019s point of view is to help kids become self-employed.<\/p>\n<p>This is a unique approach.  For years, the best way to earn money was to be employed by a company all your life.  The company would then take care of you.  This isn\u2019t happening these days. To encourage your kids to think of becoming self-employed rather than employed is a very good idea.<\/p>\n<p>The Kid\u2019s Playing Business Club is FUN!  You can create a business license, print it and frame it.  Print an unlimited amount of business cards. You can even print FREE play money and custom play money with your child\u2019s picture on it.  (These make wonderful gifts to family and friends and are suitable for framing.) You can create &amp; print flyers, too.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine your kids building their own family crest where they are able to choose the values you and your family stand for. This crest is so important because it helps build the self image of your child as well.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a business plan outline, mission statement, and setting goals (short term, medium term, and long term).<\/p>\n<p>The e-books provided are terrific!  \u201cSetting a Goal\u201d and \u201cBeing in Business\u201d assist your child in seeking ways to earn money and THINK BUSINESS.  \u201cSanta\u2019s Home Town,\u201d \u201cYou Can be Anything\u201d and \u201cBeing an Individual\u201d are awesome!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a section where your kids sing along with songs and another with wonderful activity sheets:  language (unscramble words), math (addition, subtraction, count shapes) and games (word searches, cross word puzzles).<\/p>\n<p>There are 26 business ideas that a kid with help, can use right away to play business and start earning money. You and your kids will have so much fun playing here! ;o)<\/p>\n<p>Cheers \u2026 Amanda van der Gulik \u2026 Excited Life Enthusiast! ;o)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How have you enjoyed the posts about the fun resources and games for kids so far?
