Thinking Money for Kids: Pet Cents April 30th 3:30-5pm

Join us at Arab Library for "Pet Cents," a kids' event, on Wednesday, April 30th, 3:30-5:30 PM. Sponsored by ALA and FINRA.

Ages 5-12. Play fun games and learn about currency.
Players adopt a pet — and take on the financial responsibilities of pet ownership — as they visit various stations around the room. At each stop, players engage in financial transactions with an assistant/cashier (i.e., an adult or older kid), spending and receiving money until the timer runs out. Along the way, they are faced with unexpected events that could result in a financial windfall or expense. All transactions are tracked on the player’s Pet Card. The goal of the game is to meet a pet’s needs while retaining as much money as possible
This program is made possible through a grant from American Library Association and FINRA
