Monopoly Junior
The Monopoly Junior board game by Hasbro challenges your kids to use their money for financial gain instead of pleasure. Your child learns that, if he buys two similar type properties, he earns double the revenue than he would have by only owning one property. Trading another property to acquire his second similar-type property would also be a smart move, since it would help him get the double revenue that way, too. The game objective is to be the one with the most money when the game ends, which teaches him not to be a spendthrift with each roll of his dice.
