Financial Literacy Monopoly

“Financial literacy” is the ability to understand how money works in the world. This is an important concept for youth to grasp at an early age, which is why schools and after school facilities offer educational programming designed to prepare young people for the real world via financial literacy skills.
 
Impact 4 Good offers an interactive, competitive team building activity aimed at donating tools to help children become financially literate AND help budding entrepreneurs. Teams compete in a customized version of Monopoly that involves answering client business content and financial literacy-themed questions to earn properties with a unique twist: teams are made up of event attendees and a local school student! The team that gets the most questions correct in the time allotted wins!
