Gather 4 players or group of players at the start of the board game at the bottom of the poster. All of the players get a starting capital of 5 coins, which is put all together next to the game board since it's a collaborative version of the board game (see variations). (Not in the piggy bank, since this is for your savings.)
The players roll the die to determine who starts the game. The highest die count starts. This player rolls the die and moves the number of indicated spaces forward. If the player lands on a square, he/she acts out the task mentioned on the square (see extra game information for detailed info).
During the game, the group will earn and spend money. The general idea of the game is to work together - by having discussion as a group - to have as much money at the end of the month. The group can save (savings account) and invest money as well to maximize their profit.
The game ends when all players have reached the end of the month at the of the board. Here, the total amount of money earned is counted. Players can decide to play multiple months to gain more money or to adapt their strategies during the game! If the game only lasts for one month, the end of the month is the end of the game.
The Payday Pioneers board game is one of the two posters of the Fundamentals of Financial Literacy toolkit, created by the Khazana Foundation and StreetSmart in 2023. The two organisations joined forces to create a new toolkit together to allow more vulnerable children to learn about the basics of financial literacy via playful, accessible educational materials.
The Payday Pioneers board game is closely linked to the Money Matters poster, and allows players to experience the fundamental pillars of financial literacy - shown on the Money Matters poster - in practice during an enjoyable board game. The game elaborates further on the five pillars.
THE BOARD
The board game follows the structure of one month, on the left hand side of the poster. On the right hand side of the poster, players can find the legend of the board game, a space to keep money in the savings account, and icons to keep track of the purchases players made during the game (cows, watches, books).
