In-Person Games

Studies show that the best way to learn is to do.  Failing that, the best way to learn is to perform activities that simulate the activity as closely as possible.  The lessons we try to teach are those the tell how to manage a steadily growing pool of wealth.  Most of us who start are not blessed with a large pool of cash with which to learn how to manage money. 

Games are excellent tools to learn how to manage money.  Some of the games listed here are very common and familiar.  Others are more exotic. 

Here are a few really cool games that can be used to teach financial literacy and business.

Monopoly

Monopoly as a Learning ToolMonopoly is one of the most familiar games which has a financial theme.  It offers good lessons on how to get rich in real estate.  At the same time, it begins with a paradigm that is an ultimate failure in business.  It works on the premise that only 1 player can win.  Therefore, business owners only succeed at the expense of the others.  LIFE Skills has developed rule variants which turn this on its head and brings about new learning from a classic game.
