Oxford, AL – On Wednesday, March 26, at 10 a.m., the Oxford Public Library will host Thinking Money for Kids: Games, an interactive event designed to teach children financial literacy through fun and engaging activities.
The event will feature three hands-on games that introduce money management concepts in an enjoyable and educational way:
-
Currency Conga: A fast-paced game where children identify and interact with real coins and bills on a vinyl mat, improving their currency recognition and money math skills. The game can be adjusted for different age groups, incorporating addition, multiplication, and percentages for older kids.
-
Penny Pinchers’ Party: Participants become party planners with a $100 budget, selecting items for their event while making strategic financial decisions. After presenting their plans, a Party Champion may be chosen based on creativity and budget management.
-
Pet Cents: Players take on the responsibilities of pet ownership, making financial decisions at various stations around the room. They track transactions on a Pet Card while navigating unexpected expenses and financial gains, all with the goal of meeting their pet’s needs while managing their money wisely.
