Monopoly is a fun game and a nice way to teach basic financial management in a very interactive way to children. But life is not quite like Monopoly, starting from a simple fact that we don't all start with the same initial funds in reality, and we don't all start at square 1. Depending on age, they might be too young to get it, but at some point, it'll be a good thing to mention as well.
Starting from point one still doesn't seem right, many people also start from point 0 and have nothing. It's not like a game of Monopoly that starts with a lot of money and the same.
We do have to teach how the real economic world works, because it will not be as easy as playing in the Monopoly game.
Another thing is that it's important to also teach that not everything in life is about money, that money is merely meant to be a means to getting something that actually makes a person happy. So finding what makes you happy and how you can help others to become happier is no less important than financial management. In that regard, I suggest you to look into the history of Monopoly.
About the history of the Monopoly game, it can certainly be explained how Monopoly can be a very popular game. Monopoly has been around since 1903 as The Landlord's Game.
In the early 1900s, The Landlord's Game was created by Lizzie Magie, who was an anti-monopolist at the time.
Then the name Monopoly was patented by Charles Darrow in 1935.
And, not everything is because of money or wealth.
Money is just a tool used to transact and determine where your boundaries are.
