Four new interactive games — part of a series called Thinking Money for Kids and available at tm4k.ala.org — are designed for children ages 7 to 11 but are appropriate for other ages as well.

Games include:

• Earning It: Follow the paths of characters Grace, Emma, and Kenji to see how their childhood interests translate into successful careers and opportunities to “give back” by volunteering.
• Balance My Budget: Make choices about how to meet basic needs and treat yourself with a splurge here and there, while sticking to a monthly budget.
• Money Trail: Starting with $500 in your bank account, make decisions about how to earn and spend.
• Let’s Deal: Hear from buyers and vendors at a farmers’ market as they swap goods and learn about money.
