Websites that Teach Kids About Money
Young
Investor Web Site
Kids call the shots at Liberty Financial's Young Investor site.
Six guides go by such names as Gnaz Dax (a costumed superhero), Blad
the robot or Planet Lisa, your basic girl-next-door. Each guide's bio
explains his or her attitude investment style -- Gnaz Dax, like his
namesake, favors growth. There is no shortage of real-world information:
The site tackle topics such as annual reports, prospectuses and even
company spotlights like those on "grownup" investing sites.
Articles are simple but informative, ranging from "What Does it
Mean to Own Stock in a Company?" to profiles of "smart cookies,"
kids who have made good in the investment arena. The Game Room's puzzles,
brain teasers and stock market game (geared to students in grades 4-12)
teach investing principles and rules interactively. And yes, there's
even a section for parents.
The site also provides a link to Liberty Financial's Stein Roe Young
Investors Fund, a growth-oriented mutual fund. Parents also can open
a custodial account for their kids.
Big
Money Adventure
Cartoony guides also shepherd children of all ages through a Big Money
Adventure, run by brokerage A.G. Edwards. Each of the five characters,
including cape-wearing Gold Bullion (yes, he's a bull), take kids through
one of three "adventures," featuring basic skills, from counting
to a stock picking game. No age group is left out: Rainbow Castle for
children 2 to 6, Storybook Adventures for ages 6 to 10, or Star Traders
for older kids. The graphics are bold and fun, and the site is best
for kids just beginning to learn about investing.
Investing
for Kids
For kids and by kids: Three California students created and run this
investing 101 site that addresses teens directly. Clicking through a
series of questions, kids can find out how to improve their financial
profile through bank accounts, bonds and stocks. Best of all, the site
uses real examples so kids can recognize investing opportunities in
the world around them -- say, do those long lines at McDonald's mean
a buy on the stock? Kids of all ages can also test their knowledge through
a financial quiz. A stock learning center walks kids through the basics
of trading. Once they're ready to play with the big boys, they can try
the ThinkQuest stock game, a stock-picking simulation that uses real-world
information. Kids with less lofty goals -- such as a new pair of inline
skates or video games -- can calculate how much they need with a financial
calculator.
Buckinvestor
Finance gurus under 35 hang out at Buckinvestor, a comprehensive site
for advanced young investors. The site's strength is its information-rich
content. There are no cute characters but plenty of tips on investing
and saving and advice on becoming a billionaire. It's all covered, from
investment basics to personal finance such as buying a home or car
