‘Silly Monkeys’ aimed at 4-7 year olds to help teach them money concepts.
The simple card game teaches four to seven year olds critical concepts about money that will give them the best chance of being financially secure in the future. The game focuses on the idea of squirrelling away more acorns than your opponents and avoiding the ‘silly monkey’ that encourages you to eat all your acorns at once (we all know the friend who reminds us of the silly monkey don’t we?!).
The moral of the game is that if you work hard and save your acorns, you can make sure that when you need resource – i.e. money – you will always have a healthy supply.
Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time
