3 Ways Educational Games Like GravyStack Are Rewiring Kids for Success

Do you remember the last time you played a game? If you're like most people, your mind was completely focused on the task at hand. You were in the moment, and nothing else mattered.

That's what makes games so powerful - they completely capture our attention and keep us engaged. At GravyStack, we believe that through the power of play kids are more receptive and willing to learn life lessons that will help them grow into well-adjusted adults.

As parents, we want our children to succeed in life. We do everything we can to help them learn and grow – from helping them with their homework to teaching them how to cook.

But what about teaching them about money?

It's a lesson that's crucial for kids, but one that many parents might feel overwhelmed when trying to discuss.

That's why at GravyStack we use gaming to introduce kids to the concept of money management in a way that's EASY for parents and FUN for kids.

1. GravyStack Makes Finance Fun

Kids love video games, so why not leverage their interest in gaming into a learning opportunity?

Educational games are a great way to make finances fun. GravyStack takes the form of an interactive game paired with in real life (IRL) activities and financial based goals.These missions/games are crafted to make learning about financial wellness something your kid WANTS to do!

By using exciting heroes, nefarious villains, and over 100 games, kids are immediately immersed in an exciting world that helps them understand the ins and outs of money management.

Gaming offers the unique potential to redefine how children approach educational material. GravyStack leverages play-based learning to break down large financial concepts into easily digestible and rewarding "missions".

2. Educational games help sustain focus

Games are designed to keep us captivated.

The same is true for educational games, which can help children sustain focus and attention while learning important concepts.

According to the NIH, children who play games daily show higher brain activity in regions of the brain associated with attention and memory than those who never play. GravyStack uses this as an opportunity to help kids learn fundamental life skills that support your efforts to raise them into confident, independent, and financially secure adults.

Not to mention it's a great way to distract kids from the less-than-benefitial world of social media.

3. Promote independence

GravyStack helps you reward your kids for making wise financial decisions with real-world money.

This gives kids a sense of pride and accomplishment. With each success, kids progress through the game and gain more confidence in their money management skills.

With the use of real-word "Gigs", every dollar earned by your child is tied to a specific valuable action they have completed. Parents are able to offer these Gigs to children to complete on their own time, if they so choose. No more begging, nagging, or bribing to get your child to help around the house.

Within 30 days of using GravyStack, your kids will never ask for money again… they will ask you what they can do so they can earn it! This is the first big step on the path to becoming financially competent.

Educational gaming is a powerful tool that can help kids learn important lessons in the most entertaining and rewarding way. Fostering engagement, focus, and independence all while making learning fun, is just a few of the ways educational games like GravyStack are rewiring kids for success.
