My Project

Game play is an excellent way for students to learn how to budget their personal finances. Financial literacy is a skill that all students need to learn and game based learning can help retain the knowledge students will learn.

My goals are for students to understand why having a budget is important, paying bills, and building an emergency fund.

Students love to play games as a way to learn and both PayDay and Budget will fit nicely into my Personal Finance classes. I am a business teacher in rural Minnesota and would appreciate any help I can get!
