"Making Children's Financial Education More Fun"... Financial Supervisory Service Develops Two Board Games

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] The Financial Supervisory Service announced on the 18th that it has developed two customized board games, 'Financial Racing' and 'Financial Cooking King,' to help lower-grade elementary school students easily and enjoyably experience and learn financial concepts.

In Financial Racing, players move forward by finding task cards related to the financial company located on the square where their game piece is. The player who overtakes others or earns the most medals by answering quizzes correctly wins.

During the process of finding task cards, players learn about types of financial companies and related financial business concepts, with repeated exposure to these concepts through hint cards and OX quizzes.

Depending on the financial attitudes written on the action cards, rewards or penalties are given to help players recognize right and wrong, thereby encouraging proper financial attitudes.

Financial Cooking King is a game where the player who completes the most burgers on their personal board by purchasing all necessary ingredients within their budget wins.

Players can learn about various types of income such as earned income, business income, property income, and transfer income through examples listed on income cards.

Additionally, during the ingredient purchasing process to make burgers presented on the personal board, players distinguish between necessary and unnecessary consumption and prioritize purchasing ingredients for priority burgers (1+1 burgers that grant an additional burger upon completion), thereby learning rational consumption methods.

Furthermore, through action cards and OX quiz cards, players learn simple financial concepts and proper financial attitudes while enjoying the game. The number of words is minimized and the proportion of illustrations increased so that children can intuitively understand the explanations and enjoy visual fun.

The materials can be downloaded from the Financial Education Center website (www.fss.or.kr/edu) under 'Financial Education Textbooks & Teaching Aids' in the 'Board Games' section.
