The Money Game changes the face of financial literacy in America. First stop…Los Angles, CA

Sept. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Santa Barbara, CA. "The majority of schools in America aren't successfully teaching our youth about money and investing," reports Elisabeth Donati, CEO of Creative Wealth Intl. "My goal is to change this." With the launch of The Money Game® and the one-day Money Game Certification Tour, she will train teachers, youth group leaders, financial planners and others to effectively teach kids and adults, (adults love the game as much as the kids) how to use money wisely instead of spending most of it on Piddlyjunk!

   "My goal is to rebuild our economy one classroom at a time." Donati has been teaching basic money management and wealth creation principles with her popular Camp Millionaire programs since 2002. For the first time ever, The Money Game®, which is the heart of those programs, is available to anyone to teach kids, teens and adults about money. The Money Game's first training stop on Oct. 23, 2010 will be held in Santa Monica, CA and it is accessible online for those unable to attend in person.

    "With every child we teach to Pay Yourself First, we keep one adult from needing government financial first-aid later. Now that's a revolutionary idea to rebuild our nation's financial strength.

"Children need three things to grow into financially responsible adults:
1.   They must learn the Language of Money, i.e., how to talk about it.
2.   They must understand the habits and steps required to create financial security.
3.   They must have the opportunity to practice with money while they are young when the mistakes aren't quite so painful and the lessons can turn into lifelong habits.

Financial literacy organizations continue to develop curriculums that don't work; the skills and information just don't stick!" says Donati. "Financial principles must be taught in a way that is relevant and fun. Everyone loves playing The Money Game® because it's physical…they learn about money by experiencing money. No one has time to get bored." Donati explains, "In this game, the players are the pieces, financial freedom is the goal and giving back is a resounding theme. Kids often walk away knowing more about money than their parents!" NOTE: the game is profoundly effective with adults!

The first training is set for October 23, 2010 in Santa Monica, CA.  For more info, visit http://www.winthemoneygame.com or www.winthemoneygame.com/training.php or call Elisabeth at 805-957-1024.
