Give Your Child a Basic Understanding of Money

Many children think that money is something that comes out of thin air. In Moneyville your child will develop a fundamental understanding of where money comes from.

Moneyville teaches your 5-7 year old about money

In Moneyville, your youngest can play his or her way to a better understanding of the concept of money. Your child will use his or her own Moneyville character to earn money, which they can then use to purchase items for their room or to go on trips in the time machine.

The things your child purchases are kept in his or her own room.

Your child learns to put some thought into what they spend money on. What can be purchased with the amount they have, and is the item cheap or expensive?

Your child can choose from among many things at various prices in Penny’s Shop.

The game is developed so that even the youngest can take part. They’ll just need help with their name and password – the rest they can handle themselves, but we encourage parents to introduce the game to them and discuss it with them.

8-9 year olds learn to save up and prioritise

The Family Game is for older kids. The task here is to create an imaginary family, with car, house, pet, etc., where your child’s choices will have an impact on how much money the family has available in their budget every month over the course of a year.

In the Family Game, your child is in charge of home maintenance, expenses and savings over the course of an entire year.

With a basis in common situations, your child has to manage the family’s budget – without letting it going into minus. How should they prioritise when the budget has to cover not only car repairs, but also the family’s holiday to a sunny destination?
