When learning is FUN, that's the best.
We'll have all 5 of our Thinking Money for Kids Games available and you pick which one you'd like to try!
Your little ones will have time to play at least a couple games. Also, attendees will get to take home a free cardboard piggy bank.
Piggy Bank Theater (recommended ages 3-8) - Take part in an interactive story time where you'll help our young characters build childhood interests into careers, making financial choices along the way.
Currency Conga (recommended ages 5-9) - Let the currency spinner decide your next move as you build up your currency recognition and money math skills.
Making Mooo-lah (recommended ages 6-12) - Work together on a life-size game board to see if you can run a financially successful farm.
Penny Pinchers' Party (recommended ages 6-12) - Become a party planner, help your client stay on budget, and work to be the Party Champion who throws the most entertaining event.
Pet Cents (recommended ages 8-12) - Adopt a pet, take on the financial responsibilities of pet ownership, and reach your goal of meeting all of your pet's needs on a budget.

This program is brought to you by the Thinking Money for Kids Grant through ALA and FINRA. This grant helps to provide engaging kids programs about financial education through age-appropriate play. Designed and vetted by children's librarians and financial experts.
Be sure to check out a Playaway Launchpad, a pre-loaded tablet with digital financial literacy content! No internet service needed. Find it in our catalog or ask any library staff member to help you place a hold. They are available at the McClure Branch at any time.
