Blast the Money Trap™
What happens to our money when we spend it? Well, it goes in the Black Hole, never to be seen again or to be used for anything else. Then we have to trade more of our time to get more money so we can, once again spend it. Welcome to The Money Trap! Not a fun place to be.
Blast the Money Trap combines the fun of a board game with an exploration of using money as a tool to “Blast” out of The Money Trap through buying assets. Players move through the game, making choices about how they will use their money and they begin to see the consequences of their choices.
Activities are expertly designed to engage the player in real life scenarios and the types of choices we make everyday with our money. Kids work with each other to evaluate their choices, providing an engaging and experiential group-learning opportunity.
The flow of the game is designed to provide the real-life challenges of managing our financial resources in a fun and educational social learning experience.
Activities Include:
- Earning Money
- Saving to Invest (Pay Yourself First)
- Paying expenses (liabilities)
- Managing your money
- Investing in assets that produce income
- Evaluating your portfolio
- Recording your financial transactions on a balance sheet
- And much more!
