How MoneyTime teaches financial literacy
30 Minutes to complete each module
Kids take 30 minutes to complete each self-directed module and play the money game so it's easy to it in your child's schedule. It's also within the attention span of most 10-15 year olds and the interactivity ensures they remain engaged.
13 home application
lessons
Additional to the 30 student lessons, there are 13 parent child lessons. These are designed for students to complete with a parent or trusted adult. They are optional but highly recommended as they help to put learning into real life context.
Money management
game
Lessons are combined with a fun money management game. The game lets children try out the strategies they’ve learnt in the program to grow and manage their money.
Learning money management through play
Money game for children
MoneyTime includes a fun money management game as part of the course. Children are rewarded with virtual money within the game for answering questions correctly and can then decide how to spend it. They can shop at virtual stores, donate, or invest in further education and property that will increase their long-term wealth. In this way, MoneyTime teaches your kids how the consequences of their financial decisions work without the real-life pressure, risk, or fear of failure.

What teachers are saying
The kids are totally into it and very highly motivated. From a VERY low baseline of knowledge, they’re now bandying words like mortgage and interest and investment like old hands. Best of all, they’re seeing in a very graphic and understandable way how money works and how it grows. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to use this excellent program.

What parents are saying
We used MoneyTime as part of our Homeschool curriculum for our 10 year old. I loved how it explained everything in a simple way for kids to understand. It was interactive and engaging and teaches life skills that many schools don't teach ~Ness
My son loved using MoneyTime! He learnt so much about various financial concepts including budeting, earning, saving and investing. He found it highly engaging and looked forward to using it every day. We highly recommend this program! ~Michelle
My 11 year old absolutely loved Money Time. She doesn’t usually enjoy Maths but was really motivated to engage in the Money Time lessons through gamification and she worked through the modules independently. Highly recommended for kids learning about money finance in a fun way ~Tracy
