Looking for some fun and educational games to play?
I recently tried out some of the money games here on MortgageCalculator.org, and they’re way more fun and educational than I expected! I played Grocery Cashier and Coin Saver Challenge, and honestly, they were both surprisingly engaging and perfect for anyone looking to sharpen their money management skills, both kids and adults.
Grocery Cashier
I first played Grocery Cashier since I really love playing cashier games and imagine I have one of my own. This game makes you feel like a real cashier at a busy grocery store. At first, it’s pretty chill—you just punch in the prices as each item rolls down the conveyor belt and hit the total button at the end. But don’t be fooled! As you move up levels, things start heating up, with more items and a tighter time crunch.
I actually found myself racing against the clock and enjoying the challenge more than I thought I would. It’s a great way to practice quick math, and I can totally see kids learning their addition and subtraction skills without even realizing it. Plus, handling different types of payments, like gift certificates and cash, was a fun twist that kept me on my toes. It reminded me a bit of real-life checkout scenarios, but with the added bonus of not having an annoyed customer waiting behind me.
Coin Saver Challenge
Next, I played Coin Saver Challenge, which was another pleasant surprise. The game is all about recognizing coins, counting them up, and comparing their values. The best part? There’s this feature where you get to save some of your money in a piggy bank and then use those savings to dress it up with fun accessories—glasses, little shoes, a tie, you name it. I won’t lie; I got way too excited about making my piggy bank look stylish. It’s a cute little incentive that makes saving money feel rewarding, which is a lesson everyone could use. I found myself thinking, “Why didn’t I have games like this when I was younger?” It would’ve made learning about coins and counting so much more enjoyable.
The gameplay was simple and intuitive, with enough challenge to keep me engaged. I tried out the different difficulty levels, and they’re perfect for different age ranges. The easy mode is great for younger kids who are just getting the hang of coin counting, while the harder levels will test even the most seasoned coin-sorting pro. The mini-games, like sliding the bar to choose which side has more value, were an unexpected hit for me—quick, interactive, and surprisingly satisfying.
Fun Games
All in all, Grocery Cashier and Coin Saver Challenge and the other games at MortgageCalculator.org are perfect little time-passers that do double duty as fun and educational tools. Plus, they remind you that learning about finances doesn’t have to be boring—it can be a blast! So if you’re looking for a productive way to spend a few minutes and maybe pick up a few budgeting habits, I’d say give these games a go. You might even find yourself saving money in real life with the same excitement you had customizing your virtual piggy.
