I am a teacher of nearly all things at an International School in Indonesia. Currently, I teach math and project based learning. Financial literacy is important in my school, which has an intention of teaching students about Sustainable Entrepreneurship. We have a student bank, where students can apply for loan money to start projects. We have had several business and non-profit organizations arise from student projects even! In those cases, there was heavy parent involvement, however, the potential is there for students to begin using real-world financial literacy at an early age. I teach a class called Community Renewable Energy, where students are involved in auditing the school, and a local hotel. I wonder if this class can help me prepare a 'self-audit' lesson, or create a game or activity where students can practice these concepts. I have done some 'false economy' stuff before in class, rewarding 'silver' in a game for being prepared for class and doing the work. In this game I paid in silver, but students had to buy in 'gold.' I would change the exchange rate and make students do the math to figure out what they could buy or not.
