Strive to Drive is a ninety-minute high school classroom activity that ties together personal finance concepts and knowledge, using a colorful gameboard poster and discussion cards that guide students through the process of purchasing their first car. Small groups of students work together as they find a job, research the vehicles of their choice, select insurance appropriate to their circumstances, and consider how to pay for and maintain their respective vehicles as responsible car owners. This activity may be broken into two class periods and is highly recommended for teachers working with students in the area of personal finance.

The materials for this activity are provided free to teachers in Ohio through grants from the Ohio Insurance Institute and State Farm Insurance. Organizations and businesses wishing to sponsor Strive to Drive sets featuring their name and logo on the activity materials should contact OCEE.

Please contact us if you wish to receive a set for your classroom. Each set consists of six gameboard posters and six sets of cards – enough for classes of 24-30 students. Our quantities are limited; Strive to Drive sets will be distributed on a first-come first-served basis.
