Favorite boards games/apps/video games to teach kids investing

[Caleb Campbell]

Hello all! I try to teach my kids the importance of investing and show them real life scenarios any chance I can. Does anyone have any recommendations for board games, apps or video games that “accidentally on purpose” teach these things as well? My kids do love monopoly, and I think it changes your perspective on things, but are there other games as well?

“Cashflow” by Robert Kiyosaki.  It’s geared towards investing mostly real estate.

@Kenneth Garrett ok perfect, I’ll look into that one. Thanks!

I agree that cashflow is probably the best to learn, but I’m following for some more recommendations.

Monopoly!!  There are so many fun themes and variations of the game now.

We play games called, "lets show the property to a perspective tenant" and "lets go to closing together" and "lets deposit money in your bank account" and "lets review your college fund investments". There is no better way to learn than watching real world first hand.

The rich teach their children about money through first hand experience and at the dinner table. They don't have them play Monopoly.

Monopoly is the one I'd think of, but even sitting down with them and making your own game where they learn basic finances and budgeting (and how to do math) will put them ahead of most people.  Kids learn a lot by watching what their parents do.

Monopoly’s cool for learning the basics of investing, but Cashflow by Robert Kiyosaki is another fun game that goes deeper into it.

Oh, and I play CS2 every day, and it’s great for getting better at strategy. I actually found this website with cheats that helped me level up my game.
