1. Monopoly
No list of board games would be complete without Monopoly, the world's most popular and best selling board game. Buy & sell real estate, collect rents and rush to pass Go so that you can get your $200.

2. Payday
A personal favorite of mine from childhood! The Payday game board is set up like a monthly calendar and you must get through the month to get to your payday. The month is full of financial bonuses, such as winning the lottery, and financial pitfalls, such as extra bills or bad investments. You play as many months as you like and whoever has the most money at the end, wins the game.

3. Awesome Island
An award winning game that introduces teens to all aspects of personal finance, including salary, investments, credit, debt and philanthropy.

4. Thrive Time
Great game for teens! Teens have part time jobs and must make decisions about buying cars, paying for college, etc.

5. The Farming Game
Players plant crops and sell livestock as they try to turn their farm into a successful business.

6. The Allowance Game
Players move around the board by doing chores to earn their allowance. Then they can choose to spend it or save it.

7. Budget Mania
"Budget Mania” is fun, energetic, math-based, instructional game for ages 11 to adult. It demonstrates the practical application of algebra in everyday living and teaches money management and budgeting skills. Budget Mania presents a small economy where players have different bills and different savings goals.

Can they do all this and keep in mind the true purpose of money?
