I used Chuck E Cheese and their tickets from skeball etc to teach my children something about economics/scams.
3 of my kids picked up right away that it made no sense to spend $20 getting tickets to redeem for a "prize" that you could buy at the Walmart next door for .89 cents.
My youngest (he was 12 or so at the time) just could not grasp the concept.
He is 19 now and still makes boneheaded money decisions, thank God he does not have enough money to invest or he would be one of the sheep.
