Financial Literacy World

Financial literacy is important for everyone, including athletes!

In this open-ended Minecraft experience, players earn a passive income that can be saved, or used to purchase a variety of in-game items. Decide to spend it all in the shopping plaza on things like clothes or save and make a large-scale purchase like a home or car. Visit the bank to acquire a credit card and open a savings account, of the residential area, filled with characters who provide anecdotal experiences about different circumstances in their lives that lead to different spending patterns.

At the end of the activity, you can sell your assets and tally your overall value to determine what you’re left with. This activity has great replay value because you can challenge yourself to try different approaches and debrief on how they affect your result.
