Critical Thinking
Personal Finance: Playing the Money Game
The class parents most often say they
wish they had in high school! This is a
fun game and simulation-based class that teaches the principles of personal
finance in a memorable way.
Class Schedule(s)
0 availableClass Description
Playing the money game is so much
easier if you understand the rules! Learning the language and principles of personal finance enables
students to start their adult life with a head start. In this class, we will be playing games like Robert
Kiyosaki’s Cashflow and participating in simulations. These help put the students into real-life
situations where they see what the consequences are to different actions.
I also
have students participate in The Stock Market Game, a free
online, real-time investing simulation where students invest $100,000 (not real
money of course). I use this program to scratch the surface of investing,
but it includes additional lessons that I will make available if they would like
to go deeper. Each week we will be
charting students’ gains and losses. It
is a safe and easy way to play the market.
Testimonial:
This class was a game-changer for my teenaged daughter! To this day she and her husband use the principles taught in this class to govern the money management in their little family. The information presented is relevant and useful to apply every single day. Heidi does a great job presenting the information in an interesting and engaging format. 10/10 Would definitely recommend! -Kerrie Fairchild
