The truth is I have played a lot of videogames both as a kid and as an adult and I can tell you that I learnt far more economics from Simcity than I did from my My year 9 Accounting teacher. I learnt more about history from Civilization and Call of Duty than from a text book. Above all else I had a hell of a lot of fun playing endless hours of 4 player MarioKart and Goldeneye as a teenager as my mind worked overtime trying to keep ahead of mates to outwit, out strategize and generally punish them at every opportunity. Games are excellent learning tools and every kid knows this - see what you can learn about them.

The Lemonade Game is aimed at making the most money in thirty days from selling drinks to thirst customers over summer. Be sure not to buy too much produce if the weather is going to be pretty cool and don't price yourself out of the market.
In Fedville, kids can open a virtual savings account at the local bank and watch their money grow. As they learn their way around town, they can earn trivia cards. There are also movies about saving money, and kids can virtually shop at local stores, but only if they have earned enough money first.
