Pet Cents Financial Literacy Game

Learn money skills while playing a fun game!

For ages 8-11.

Players adopt a pet — and take on the financial responsibilities of pet ownership — as they visit various stations around the room. At each stop, players engage in financial transactions with a “cashier” (i.e. librarian), spending and receiving money until the timer runs out. Along the way, they are faced with unexpected events that could result in a financial windfall or expense. All transactions are tracked on the player’s Pet Card. The goal of the game is to meet a pet’s needs while retaining as much money as possible!

Note that due to library construction, this event will take place at the Cravath Lakefront Community Center, located at 341 S. Fremont Street.
