Toys and Games Reviews of Moneywise Kids
Customer Review: Great for teaching how to handle bills
Summary: 5 Stars
When my child received a $20 bill and wanted to get 20 $1 bills because they thought it was more money, I decided this was the perfect time to purchase Moneywise Kids. This game works wonderfully for this. Do I think this has long-term play potential? Probably not. Only time will tell. I am using this so that my children will be able to handle real money with confidence and without having to think about it. Repetition of these concepts during the game will make purchasing items in the real world less intimidating.
Of course the cost of items in the second version of the game is not realistic. That is not the point. What matters is that they figure out when they buy something that costs $15, they know which denominations of bills they can use to purchase it. Do they want to break a $50? How much change will you get back? How many ways can you break a $50? Etc.
Well worth the price.
Customer Review: The name speaks for itself

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.Customer Review: My kids like to play it over and over again!

This was one of the favorite games of Christmas. My nine-year old likes playing it over and over again to see different outcomes and to use different spending and saving strategies. Because of the combination of skill and luck, different aged kids can play on a pretty level playing field. My 9 year-old and my 11 year-old like playing it together. We also gave a copy to our son's teacher who is excited about using it in her classroom during academic enrichment time. The game plays pretty quickly and does not require a lot of explanation, yet gets basic money management skills across in a fun way. Aristoplay makes great games!Customer Review: Great game!

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.Customer Review: pretty good for younger kids

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.
