THE AIM OF THE GAME

The Game

Teaching kids the hidden value of items no longer wanted or used.

How many players?

This booklet is one player per booklet.  Multiple games can be run alongside each.

Does it work?

Parents (adults) are the Bank.  They oversee the selection and listing of items and cash handling.  Other than that - Kids are encouraged to hunt through all their stuff and find the 'hidden' often forgotten treasures.  Convert it to money - and Learn how to start saving.

Digital Interactive Edition

Download it to your device and use the interactive fields in the pdf to start the hidden money hunt for kids. 

Fill it in. Save it. Come back to it. It is suitable for PC, tablets, and phone. It runs on a pdf format and is editable.

 

 

How long is the game?

The time is up to the sale process, however the game runs in Rounds. It is perfect to fill in school holidays, or can be done on weekends. The game can be ongoing.  Saving money is a lifelong adventure.

What happens after Round one?

Once you finish the first 20 items, you can celebrate - and go again.

Who is Petunia?

Petunia is the voice behind RECLAIM — and someone who knows exactly what it feels like to watch money disappear into a destructive cycle. And the importance of being taught good money habits from a young age.

Petunia writes under a pen name. She is a mother who has used this same booklet - to help her children become business bunnies.

What ages?

Kids start forming money habits much earlier than most people realise. By the time a child turns 7, the core patterns that shape how they save, spend, and value money are already developing.

Ages 5–7 — Understands Money Concepts

Children begin to grasp value, trade, saving vs spending, and consequences. Their brains are building the foundations for saving, planning, and self‑control even before they fullyunderstand money.
Hidden Money Hunt fits this stage perfectly.

Ages 8–16 — Business Bunny & The Good Egg

Older kids and teens can set goals, compare prices, manage small budgets, and make decisions with real consequences. This is the
ideal age range for Business Bunny and The Good Egg.

Important:
Anyone under sixteen years of age should have THE BANK (parental supervision) for any online sale listings and money transactions. However, children of any age can participate in the search, the hunt, the sorting, and the decision‑making process.
