Last year I gave each of my students their own checkbooks, you can print personalized checks on moneyinstructor.com. Not only did they learn how to write checks, balance their checkbooks, etc., they also had to pay bills each month for desk, chair and cubby rental. When we played Homeworkopoly (which was a life-size board on my floor) each time they passed GO, they earned $250.00 as a deposit to their checking account. In addition to their monthly bills, they also earned a salary for being a good student, $1,000 per month. At the end of the year they used the money in their checkbooks to buy items at our year-end auction. They had a blast!
