You might want to try The Allowance Game. It's on the easy side but... Also, what about Monopoly? Life? What game you choose depends on what you would like them to learn. My kids both have a bank called a Moonjar. It's a metal bank divided into 3 sections Spend, Share, and Save. It comes with a bank book/checkbook register like thing so you can keep track of how much you've got in each section. They get an allowance and part of it is designated for each of the three sections.
