A while ago I stumbled across a site with some free educational games. The site is called HoodaMath, it has games, worksheets and tutorials for Math. The games are broken down into categories: Logic, Geometry and Arithmetic.
Here are the ones that can be used for money lessons:

Coffee Shop Game
Your goal is to make as much money as you can in 14 days. Buy ingredients, adjust your recipe, and set your price. You can adjust how much coffee, milk, and sugar you put into each cup of coffee. Generally speaking, customers like more of everything and are willing to pay a higher price for it! Pay close attention to your price. This is the amount you charge for each cup of coffee. High-priced coffee earns you more money, but customers won’t buy your coffee if they think it’s too expensive. They’ll pay more on cold days and less on warm ones. Adjusting your price each day is crucial skill in running a successful coffee shop!
