The Play Money Peace Bank is an immersive, larger-than-life numeracy experience designed to upgrade number sense, financial literacy, and economic confidence in meaningful, hands-on ways.
This is not pretend play.
This is real-world learning. Re-imagined.
Through oversized currency, interactive banking stations, youth-led treasury roles, and live marketplace exchange within the Side Hustle Manifesto Market, participants practice:
• Counting, budgeting, and pricing
• Understanding value and exchange
• Calculating profit, savings, and reinvestment
• Distinguishing needs from wants
• Exploring ethical wealth-building
The Peace Bank transforms abstract math into lived experience.
Children strengthen number fluency.
Youth build entrepreneurial confidence.
Adults re-visit financial literacy with fresh perspective.
