Surprised [Posted on 2000-11-13]
Moneywise Kids was the first item my daughter (8 yrs. old) wanted to play with, once her birthday party was over - that should speak for itself!

pretty good for younger kids [Posted on 2004-07-23]
I got this for my child when he was 6 1/2 and he mastered it easily. He is very into money and has been for a long time, so I thought this would be a good game for him. We played it a few times, but I don't think he learned much, because he already knew how to count money. It would be good for younger kids who haven't gotten the whole money concept down.

This is a game our son pulls out and asks us to play with him. And, even better, it is a game we like playing, too. We got Moneywise Kids when our oldest child was a first grader. He could already count money, but this game helped him solidify his skills painlessly. What we really liked was the playing option that teaches money management. Players must plan for clothes, food, transportation, housing, etc. Our son will argue with us over our choices, telling us what is most important to pay for next, such as food or clothing. When he plays with his sisters, we overhear him advising them on their choices, too. In this game children have a decent chance of beating adults, which makes them happy to play again. Moneywise Kids is an enjoyable, quiet game with few pieces.

Great game! [Posted on 2004-11-30]
We bought this when our son was six. He's now seven. He really enjoys playing this game. The skill of money conversion is obviously something he can take with him into real life. I also use the opportunity while playing the game to have mini discussions with him regarding the expenditures the game approaches - that we actually have those expenditures in real life and that it's important to save money and be able to pay for them.

I purchased this game for my 5 year old girl. She seems to like it. It is a game that she is willing to play, but it is never her first pick. It does seem to be a good way to introduce money, but if you want your child to understand the value of money I don't think this game will help. Ex: health care is $10 and a place to live is only $30 (I wish!!)
