Amazing financial literacy online simulator geared
for grades 4-6. Takes 2.5 hours to complete.
My personal favorite, this simulation walks
students through a learning environment in which
their task is to make financially savvy decisions to
save Stonebroke (a boy who made poor financial
decisions). Education rich, and action packed this is
a great addition to any 6-8 grade classroom.
Like the Sims, EverFi will walk high school students
through 10 learning modules and when completed
will kick out a financial literacy certificate. This
simulator is endorsed by Iowa I Have a Plan and is a
great resource when learning financial literacy.
In this online banking experience students earn a
paycheck, pay bills, set up a retirement account and
compete against other students to be the best
money manager in the class. This simulator is very
hands on and life skill orientated.
