As the founder of Raising CEO Kids, and the co-author of The Parents’ Guide to Raising CEO Kids, I am all about teaching entrepreneurship in our home. Today I want to share with you some fun ways to teach kids about business, entrepreneurship and finance. Join your kids in the fun and you many find that both you and your kids learn skills that will last a lifetime. Plus, the memories you create while playing with your kids will be priceless! Earn My Keep puts the fun into business for children ages 4-12. As kids get to research and become “real professionals”, they’re exposed to the benefits of a lifelong love of learning and the seamless incorporation of subjects like business, science, art and finance. Children select one of 50 careers and then choose a fun kid-friendly task from the career’s profile. When the child completes the task within an agreed-upon amount of time you can choose to reward them with money or something else you choose as a family. Isn’t that such a fabulous idea? Earn My Keep was designed as an allowance program, but even if you don’t believe in allowance at your home it is still a fabulous way to help kids learn about occupational choices while having a great time! The Cash Flow game is a classic favorite in our home. I love that there are two different versions of the game: one is designed for kids, ages 6 to 12 and the other for ages 12 and up. The idea with the Cash Flow board games is to get out of the “rat race” of a traditional J-O-B and moved into replacing the income from the J-O-B with passive income from businesses, investments, and real estate. If you have middle school or high-school age children, you might consider a fourth game called Go Venture. The cool part about Go Venture is that in any single session players may be required to act out subjects as you would with Charades, solve word puzzles, answer trivia questions, draw, solve definitions, and answer riddles. Every player participates in every single turn so there is no chance of getting bored. There is also a very collaborative team aspect to Go Venture where everyone is helping each other succeed in business. There is always fun that can be had when teaching your kids about business and entrepreneurship! As a matter of fact, in writing “The Parents’ Guide to Raising CEO Kids”, we found that kids who took time to have fun in life were able to balance the demands of life more effectively! There’s still time to get your AUTOGRAPHED copy and nearly $100 in bonuses!
