It is important for any parent to educate their children about money. This is in my thoughts too. But same as many other parents, I too wondered how to start teaching about money. When he was a pre-schooler, I simply introduced him to coins and notes. Later, when he was in school, there were Math lessons that taught about money. But, the child only learned how to do math calculations or connect coins with their value just for the sake of the Math lesson. I found that he doesn’t really have practical experience or knowledge of using money in real-life situations. This is why I was more concerned about teaching him about using money in real life.

To make my life easier, I found some educational money games that teach basic money concepts to children. The best about these games is they are free. Other than a phone, these games are easy to play using a laptop, tab, or desktop. I prefer this mode because I limit his mobile phone and app usage with limited screen time.

With these benefits, below are some of the educational money games we played together. I hope these are beneficial to you as well. Therefore, I am sharing the details with links to relevant pages. So that you can check as well and introduce it to your children.
