Financial Literacy: Gamified, Ep 314

There was an American civil rights leader called Mortimer Adler that some believe said this: 'I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.'Trapped inside due to poor weather while on holiday with 3 young kids can produce a few scraps of wisdom, among other things. Playing games with kids though, provides a unique learning opportunity I don’t think I’ve every really thought too seriously about.6 months ago I was at a 50th bday party – I got talking with this couple who start telling me about a board game they invented called Hacktics.We must have spoke for half an hour at least me quizzing them on everything I could – Why’d you do it, How did you do it, What’s involved from start to finish?In the end I thought stuff it – let’s bring it up in an episode. I’ll let them explain the rest – I hope you enjoy this one.While not financial advice to suggest this, I hope you seriously consider getting one of these games for kids aged 13 and up. Since recording this one, I’ve played it twice now with my oldest – as far as advancing financial literacy with kids, this game can transfer a lot of knowledge.Hey!
