Celebrate Financial Literacy Month with a fun game that challenges players to care for a pet while staying within budget.

Practice spending and saving as you visit various stations to care for your pretend pet. Begin by “adopting” a pet. Then, exchange play money for different items and services at the vet and supply stores. Make sure you meet all your pet’s needs! At the end, count up your money to see if you stayed within budget.

This program requires simple addition and subtraction skills. It is recommended for ages 9-12.

Registration is required. Families registering multiple tweens should register each participant separately.

If you have questions, please contact the P. D. Brown Branch at 301-645-2864 or email pdbrownref@ccplonline.org.
