Program Description
Event Details
Pet Cents:
Players adopt a pet—and take on the financial responsibilities of pet ownership—as they visit various
stations around the room. At each stop,
players engage in financial transactions with
an assistant/cashier (i.e., a grownup or older
kid), spending and receiving money until the
timer runs out. Along the way, they are faced
with unexpected events that could result in a financial windfall or expense. All transactions are tracked on the player’s Pet Card. The goal of the game is to meet a pet’s needs while retaining as much money as possible.
Currency Conga:
At the flick of a spinner, players vie for space on a vinyl mat as they attempt to touch the correct coins and bills — and improve their currency recognition and money math skills in the process. There are two ways to play depending on the age and skill level of your group. For a younger crowd, explore real coins (included) and discuss what they are worth, then spin the Identifying Currency spinner to test their skills. Use the customizable Money Math spinner to challenge teams of older kids with addition, multiplication, and percents.
