Monetary Mania!

Creator: International Monetary Fund | visit site

Grade Range: 8 - 11

Simple "quiz show" type game focused on international economic policy. Players choose a character who then answers questions in competition with two stock characters: a high school student and a college econ. major. As the game progresses, the three contestants’ scores accumulate. Each question is followed by an explanation of the answer and the context.

In the Classroom

Would make a good review game in an economics class, or a current events/current issues class. Very little in the "bells and whistles" department, but strong content and a reasonably entertaining overview of the issues.
