One way is to contact your child's teacher and tell them about our CASHFLOW for

a copy of the software for use within their classroom. Our goal is to teach the

My child's school doesn't know anything about this program,
how can I get them involved?
We get this question all the time! The best way to get your child's school
involved is to talk with your child's teachers about this program. We have
created the software and associated lesson plans to help teachers teach the
concept of financial education. The media is filled with stories encouraging
all Americans to become more financially literate, and there is no better place
to start than at school.
The RichKidsSmartKids.com website contains all the information needed to teach
the fundamentals of financial literacy through the website content, the online
games, or the downloadable CASHFLOW for Kids at School software and associated
classroom curriculum.

What is the difference between the "at School" version and
the "at Home" version?
The differences between the products are numerous. The school's version was
optimized for downloading (it is much smaller in size), and it has been
specifically tailored for use in grades 3-5 and 6-8.
The CASHFLOW for Kids at Home version has been specifically designed for a
wider range of children, including ages 5-7. The Home edition also includes
additional early years content, 4 bonus mini-games, a special message from
Robert Kiyosaki regarding raising your child's financial IQ, and much more.

Why is financial education such an important subject to
teach in schools?
Consider financial education an investment in the next generation.
Schools teach fundamental skills such as reading and writing as well as the
subjects of mathematics, geography, history, etc. We, at Rich Dad, believe that
financial literacy should be one of those fundamentals. All individuals are
increasingly responsible for handling financial challenges, which range from
understanding current news and events to evaluating investment options like
buying real-estate, building a business, or estate planning. These are
important skills which will assure that all individuals will be able to provide
for themselves as well as their families and communities.
We are relentless in our pursuit of our mission. We are out to elevate the
financial literacy of adults and children around the world. We feel that the
best way to empower them is through education.

The CASHFLOW for Kids game doesn't really teach you
anything, does it?
Yes it does! Who said education couldn't be fun! And it does so in a way
specifically designed for kids. Children & adults love to play games. We have
created the CASHFLOW 101 & CASHFLOW for Kids board games just for this reason.
By playing a game, you can enjoy yourself while understanding the principles
behind such terms as "income, expense, assets and liabilities". And best of
all, you can then put those terms in practice while playing.
We have now created the interactive versions of CASHFLOW for Kids at School as
well as CASHFLOW for Kids at Home in order to leverage the power of the
personal computer. Designing a game to be played on a personal computer also
increases our ability to teach and entertain. Combining computer literacy and
financial literacy is a winning combination.
