Designed to explain financial literacy in a way that makes sense to young learners, this exhibit is an engaging way to explore the concepts of earning, spending, saving, and giving money.
With interactive places to play, including a drive-thru window and teller station, kids can put their math skills to work and become money smart in the process. Spending games, coin counting, and a penny pillar all provide sensory experiences for littles and opportunities to learn for bigger kids. City Money is also a space for children to practice real-world skills and familiarize themselves with the experience of visiting a bank or credit union, building confidence and knowledge about the world around them.
With role-play activities and hands-on learning, playing in City Money helps kids develop financial literacy skills while having fun. This exhibit also encourages financial responsibility, making it a great way to teach children about the importance of managing money. Generously sponsored by GreenState Credit Union.
