Make learning about money fun with BeFree HOMSTERS, an educational financial literacy board game for kids ages 8+ that teaches saving, investing, career planning, money management, and smart financial decision-making through hands-on play.
Players choose a career, select a dream home, and work toward their goal by earning and saving money month by month. Along the way, children make decisions about saving, spending, and investing while discovering how everyday financial choices can affect their ability to reach long-term goals.
Practice Saving & Money Management
Kids learn why saving consistently matters and practice managing their money while working toward the goal of purchasing a home.
Explore Careers & Income
Players choose careers and experience the connection between career choices, income, saving, and financial goals, introducing important real-world financial concepts in an age-appropriate way.
Learn About Investing
Multiple investment options with different potential returns introduce children to basic investing concepts and encourage them to consider their choices carefully.
Develop Smart Financial Decision-Making
Players encounter opportunities to make financial decisions and discover why attempts to “get rich quick” don't always produce the expected results. This encourages critical thinking, patience, planning, and responsible money habits.
Practice Goal Setting
Working toward a dream home gives children a tangible financial goal and demonstrates how saving, planning, and thoughtful decision-making can help accomplish long-term goals.
