Available in the iTunes App Store, 'Learning Money with Leo' by the Royal Bank of Canada is a financial literacy education game designed for children. Featuring a friendly lion mascot brandishing a RBC logo-emblazoned tee, the gaming app aims to teach kids about the concepts and value of money in a playful and engaging way.
The Learning Money with Leo game is comprised of a sticker book and sticker stroe, a coloring book, a read-along story book and several interactive games. The games provide children with the opportunity to recognize and sort coins of different denominations.
The interactive financial literacy tool is sure to be a valuable resource for parents given that many schools do not include comprehensive education on the ins and outs of daily finances.
