Money Bags is an entertaining, interactive game teaching kids critical money skills by racing to the finish line first. It features a colorful board with a spinner, 100 plastic coins, play bills, markers, and dice. Players, aged four years and upwards, are expected to enjoy this game in a group of 2 to 4. While making their way along the cartoon path, they learn how to combine coins and manage money while having lots of fun.
Players earn money when they land on squares that depict practical chores or entrepreneurial activities such as setting the table for 31 cents, running a lemonade stand for 15 cents. Using the spinner determines which coins players may take from the bank. If the spinner lands on "no nickels," for example, then players need to make change without nickels. This aspect brings an additional degree of difficulty and gets kids thinking more deeply about how they are matching up and keeping track of their coins.
Players can also fall into the "Bank Exchange" space, where they might trade coins-for instance, two nickels for a dime. This will make them practice once more the concept of the value of the coin and further enhance their counting and money management skills. The person who has amassed the greatest amount of money during the end of the game shall be declared the winner. Of course, luck plays a crucial part, but strategic thinking and good decision-making are very significant in determining who wins.
Money Bags is a great educational game that combines fun with learning, teaching kids about money, counting, and how important it is to think critically. From a family game night to a tool for teaching, Money Bags can provide hours of entertainment while teaching children practical skills in dealing with money. Give it a go for an enjoyable and enlightening experience with your whole family!

I've never heard of this game but sounds very interesting as a way to teach about money to kids. My sister had a preschool, I wonder if the kids would like something like this. Better hold on to the game rules because that is the first to get destroyed.
