FinEduPlay: Drama and Game-Based Financial Literacy

This project aims to develop an interactive and engaging education model that enhances children’s and young people’s financial literacy skills using drama and game-based learning techniques.

Goals:

• Teach fundamental financial skills (budgeting, saving, investing, debt management).
• Develop decision-making skills through real-life financial scenarios.
• Make learning fun and lasting through drama and role-playing techniques.
• Develop educational materials supported by digital and physical games.
• Raise students’ awareness of financial security and planning.
  

  Project Concept:

  Drama-Based Learning:

  • Students experience financial decision-making through gamified scenarios and role-playing activities.
  • For example, in the “Family Budget Management” scenario, each student plays a different family member and collectively manages a monthly budget.

  Game-Based Financial Education:

  • Monopoly-like board games to practice financial literacy.
  • Mobile applications and digital simulations for virtual financial management.
  • A story-driven game called “Finance Heroes,” where students guide a character’s life by making investment, saving, and spending decisions.

  Digital & Physical Tools:

  • International collaborations through eTwinning and Erasmus+ platforms.
  • Educational card games, interactive videos, and augmented reality (AR).
  • Teacher training modules for in-class implementation.
