Abstract :
We have developed a game based learning program for e-money literacy education. We applied "The Game of Life" as an educational material. We have developed an e-money system for the game with RFID tag, and we have had experimental classroom using this system at Jr. and Sr. high school. Students played "The Game of Life" using both paper money and e-money in the classroom. Then students considered about both paper money and e-money, and they answered questionnaire. Results show our game based educational program is effective.
