"Get A Life" Expanded

Monday, November 09, 2009 11:22 AM

FAME is excited to announce the creation of a high school version of its popular “Get a Life” game.  This interactive financial literacy game was originally created primarily for middle school students and has now been expanded to teach high school students the basics of money management. 

 

Through this game, students learn about potential career options, college aspirations and financial education; including budgeting, wants vs. needs and the consequences of making choices.  Most importantly, “Get a Life” encourages conversation among students regarding career goals and aspirations, while emphasizing the importance of making the right choices in order to have as many options in life as possible. 

 

Both versions have also been updated to reflect current median salary in Maine, as well as important additions to the career selections.  The new version has already been introduced to the high school audience and has proven to be a great success.  For more information, please contact Angela Dostie.
