Fantastic freebies! Computer programs to teach your kids about money using sports
Filed under: Kids and Money, Fantastic Freebies
Every day, WalletPop will be bringing you information about a fantastic freebie. Like what you see? Check back tomorrow for more!The other day I wrote about a fantastic freebie for kids: a violent video game courtesy of Uncle Sam.
On a more positive note, Practical Money Skills for Life -- a Visa-sponsored website devoted to financial literacy education -- is offering a pretty cool looking set of PC "games" designed to get your kids thinking about money in a positive way.
The list includes Financial Football, Financial Football Advanced Edition, and Practical Money Skills for Life, along with student workbook and a teacher's edition.
If you're a teacher, you can order many more copies and, if you're a parent, please forward this to your child's teacher if your school doesn't already have a financial literacy program in place.

Speaking of fantastic freebies, you should check out trackmania nations forever. (www.trackmania.com) It's a great free racing game with online multiplayer and tons of customization. This is not to be confused with Trackmania United Forever (the paid version with even more stuff in it). The free version has the same great graphics and doesn't need the most advanced computer on the planet to play it. Check it out!
