My Project

Everyone needs to learn how to manage money. However, some high school students have no idea where to start. The goal of this project is to help the students in my Personal Finance Class to do just that. After thinking about how to do that I found a solution, GAMES!

Games are always a fun way to involve students in the learning process.

With the Monopoly Baninking game and the Game of Life, students will be able to actively see the curve balls thrown at adults when dealing with all financial matters.
