BUDGET MATH GAME

Grades: 5 - 12

This game will teach students what it means to live by a budget. Before each trip around the game board, players plan a budget and receive $2,000. They experience the realities of real-life economics as they buy a home or rent an apartment, pay insurance costs, make investments, buy groceries and clothing, repair fire damage, collect commissions, and more. If the budget projection is reasonably accurate, the player collects a bonus on payday! The winner is the player who has the greatest wealth at the end of play.
