Build Money Skill In Your Child



According to an article in the June 2010 issue of Good Housekeeping, if your kid is a video game virtuoso, make his/her playtime pay off by pointing them to The Great Piggy Bank Adventure (http://www.greatpiggybankadventure.com/ ). a free online game created by Walt Disney imagineering and T. Rowe Price to get families talking about money and to help children gain crucial budgeting skills.


1. Kids pick an in-game financial goal (say, a tree house), then journey through the animated game earning currency.
2. As kids progress, they learn about setting savings goals, spending and investing wisely, and factoring in inflation.
3. The game can be played by up to four people, so it's good for the family game night.
4. It was created with those ages 8 to 14 in mind, our early-elementary kid testers loved it. -Laura Hahn.
