My Project

Financial literacy is one of the most important skills my students can learn, but it can sometimes feel confusing or disconnected from real life. In our Personal Finance class, students are learning about budgeting, saving, credit, investing, and planning for the future. To help make these lessons more real and easier to understand, I am requesting board games like Monopoly and The Game of Life to give students a hands-on way to practice managing money.

What if learning about money felt more like game night than a lesson?

Through games like Monopoly and The Game of Life, students will make real-world money decisions in a fun and safe setting. They will practice spending wisely, saving, paying bills, handling surprise expenses, choosing careers, and thinking about long-term goals. Instead of just reading about financial choices, they will experience how those choices affect their success in the game.

This project is about helping students build confidence with money. Many of my students do not get many opportunities to learn about personal finance outside of school. These games will help make learning active, engaging, and memorable. With your support, students will gain practical skills they can use for the rest of their lives.
