The Canton Department of Recreation is featuring a new program, The Money Game, for ages 9-years-old and up, which teaches parents and their children real world lessons about money and finances in a fun, and celebratory way.
Michelle Gustafson, a retired Canton school teacher, has more than 30 years experience in the classroom.
The Money Game was developed over six years ago by Creative Wealth International and Elisabeth Donati of Santa Barbara, California.

The room is the board, the students are the pieces and the lessons last a lifetime, according to Donati.
Gustafson believes that playing a game encourages a beginner's mind. Your mind is open to information and experiences when you are playing a game because you're having fun.
