Guide Review - Moneywise Kid$

Moneywise Kid$ is a fun way for kids to learn how to handle money and budget for the necessities in life. Children learn how to count bills, exchange smaller bills for larger bills, make correct change, budgeting, money management and more. Instructions for two games are included: In Bill Maker, players roll dice to earn money. On each turn, exchange smaller bills for larger ones if possible. The first player to have a $100 bill wins. In Bill Breaker, each player starts with a $100 bill and must budget to buy food, clothing and other necessities while saving up $100. The games are fun and fast-paced. Tips for activities that relate the games to the real world are included to help build skills that will last a lifetime.
