By |2023-07-01T22:30:57-04:00September 25th, 2018|Extra Money Game Activities Category, Financial Education, Money Game FAQ, Money Game Specific|

Shortening The Money Game I often get calls from people who want to know if they can use The Money Game in a shorter time frame, like two hours or less. This is a great question, and depending on the group that you're teaching, sometimes the answer is "Yes", sometimes the answer is "Maybe" and [...]

Because we recognize that sometimes, as Money Game Instructors, you have plenty of time to spread the rounds and lessons over several class or session periods and sometimes you are given an hour and have to squeeze as much education and experience into that time as you can, we've designed a couple of different types of [...]

Money Game Program – Supplies List

As you know, I love getting great questions about The Money Game that allow me to expand the game even further.
