How does it work at a school?
Four forms a school can choose from
All four are led by a lecturer certified by FinPlay and all four rest on the same simulation. They differ in what the lesson is meant to produce.
Workshop
Moderated by a lecturer, supported by the app. From 1 to 5 hours, from a small group to the whole school at once — you decide the scope.
Contest
The same simulation run as a contest of individuals or pairs. Results can be compared and discussed at the end — and that comparison is what pupils remember.
A licence for your teacher
We train the teacher you appoint. They receive a certificate authorising them to use the FinPlay programme, and from then on they run workshops and contests themselves — without us and without waiting for our date. For teachers, two participants are enough.
Lecture
For a gentler start. Length and content by agreement.
One day or the whole year
FinPlay meets the financial literacy curriculum. You choose how to bring it into your teaching.
Themed day
The whole topic in one block. Pupils try out decisions about money and discuss them together at the end.
Systematic teaching
Regular lessons over the school year that meet the curriculum — especially when your own trained teacher runs the programme.
What you do not have to prepare
This is the whole reason to consider FinPlay: the lesson is finished before you start working on it.
- The script and the flow of the lesson — what happens when, and why.
- Materials and the app. A tablet or a phone is enough for each pupil.
- The lecturer. They come to you, or run the lesson online.
- Splitting pupils into teams and the wrap-up at the end.
- Preparing the teacher. They can sit in with us and need not present anything.

Write to us how many pupils and roughly when. We will come back with a date and with what needs preparing on your side.
An enquiry commits you to nothing.
