FitMoney $uperSquad is a free, game-based financial literacy curriculum for K–6 students. Its lessons use videos, games and choose-your-own-adventure stories, with learners earning points as they progress. Activities are leveled for K–6 and address real-world financial decisions. The curriculum covers budgeting, credit and investing, and includes financial simulations, guided practice and personalized learning. Students can use it on Android, iOS or the web at school or at home; touchscreen mobile play is supported through most up-to-date browsers. Educators have voice-overs for questions and game instructions, along with a color-contrast adjustment. The curriculum is rated four stars by Common Sense Education. Educators cannot currently see all students’ progress at once, but can check a learner’s completed missions in that learner’s Award Center. Students under 13 need permission from a parent or guardian to create an account. FitMoney says it does not sell personal information to third parties, though it may share it with service providers or an associated school or educational organization.
