Welcome to FedVille, a friendly town built just for kids where there is something to learn around every corner!  You must earn money, save money, and spend money without going broke. Log in is required, but free.

One game we liked was at the bank- earn money by picking out which bills are counterfeit.

  • Visit the West Terrace to learn about advertising techniques, target marketing, suspicious claims, and more.
  • Visit the Food Court to learn about business competition, supply and demand, the history of the FTC, and mergers and monopolies.   Mrs. Fox liked the candy store game (supply and demand)
