Financial Literacy – Learning Through Games

I’ve recently got hold of the Thrive Time game from Sharon Lechter’s company Pay Your Family First.

In this reality based board game, the players are teens starting in high school with part time jobs. they then will be faced with money and life decisions like buying cars, managing expenses, giving back to their community, paying for further education, using credit cards, buying stocks and shares and perhaps starting businesses.

The Video below shows the game in action in the US. We are planning a trial here in a local school shortly and will post a full evaluation.

Looks like great fun!

  • This sounds awesome! JA of Central VA is doing a Social Media Financial Literacy Awareness Campaign by asking folks: If you had $1000…what would you do? Spend? Save? Invest? Donate?

    Insightful answers and one person will win the $1000 to make their choice a reality!

    Please share your answer, and share among friends and followers!
