There is almost no end to the wonderful fun resources and games for kids to help with their financial education. Here is another fantastic one.<\/p>\n
\u201cBank Jr.<\/a>\u201d is the most fantastic, imaginative, coolest online money game I have ever seen! It is filled with SOOOOO many different features that I just don\u2019t know where to begin.<\/p>\n It was the idea of a mother who suggested to her son, creative director at Zions Bank, to develop a place where children could learn what money is and how it works. And what a cool place he created! ;o)<\/p>\n You can \u201cAsk Mark\u201d (the Money Kid) any question about that green stuff we call money. There\u2019s \u201cTime Warp\u201d where you can go back in time and explore all the cool ways that money has changed (\u2018take the Time Machine\u2019).<\/p>\n \u201cLooking Back\u201d looks through the past at money, at what it could buy and how much of it folks earned. \u201cMoney Tech\u201d lets you visit the future and explore this ultra-lab.<\/p>\n \u201cSavings Wizard\u201d lets your child figure out how long it will take to save up for that special purchase. And \u201cAround the World\u201d (get this!) lets you take a trip around the world visiting different countries to see how people use money.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a special folder with images of a check, deposit slips, check registers, job application forms, a budget planner and much more.<\/p>\n There\u2019s \u201cEnter Classroom\u201d where you can choose the door marked \u2018elementary\u2019 or \u2018grades 6+\u2019 \u2013 there\u2019s SOOOO much to explore in each part \u2013 and a wonderful glossary for each.<\/p>\n My favorite place is \u201cBookshelf\u201d filled with books to further your personal study of money and how to manage it well. \u201cMom, Can I Have That?\u201d (gives parents a snappy comeback) and \u201cGrowing Money: A Complete Investing Guide for Kids\u201d (all about the world of finance) I want to devour myself! ;o)<\/p>\n There are areas devoted to Grades 1-5 (\u201cMoney,\u201d Social Studies\u201d and \u201cMath\u201d) and 6-8 (\u201cFamily & Consumer Science,\u201d \u201cSocial Studies\u201d and \u201cMath\u201d). Each one of these has a long, long list of topics to explore. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!<\/p>\n Cheers \u2026 Amanda van der Gulik \u2026 Excited Life Enthusiast! ;o)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is almost no end to the wonderful fun resources and games for kids to help with their financial education.
